Per Afrik-foot, the Aba-born defender/midfielder was the first Nigerian to win the Bundesliga as part of Kaiserslautern's winning team in the 1997/98 season. Ojigwe joined the team in Division Two, and remarkably, in their first season after promotion, they won the title.

2. Sunday Oliseh

Ojigwe could have been a two-time champion if Sunday Oliseh's Borussia Dortmund had not denied him in the 2001/02 season. Oliseh became the second Super Eagles star to win the trophy and the last one for 22 years until this season.

3. Victor Boniface

Boniface was one of Alonso's recruits at the start of the season, and the striker proved to be a smart business. Per Transfermarkt, he has 11 goals and eight assists in 18 games. He opened the scoring in the title decider against Werder Bremen.

4. Nathan Tella
