Hes My Idol For Ever Nigerias Troost-ekong Names Greatest African Defender Of All-time

Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong has named late Nigeria legend Stephen Keshi as the greatest African defender of all-time.

Troost-Ekong, who said Keshi is his idol for ever, placed the former Super Eagles coach ahead of a host of illustrious names in Africa.

The former Watford defender was put through an elimination-style game by the Saudi Pro League's media team, where he had to choose between some of Africa's most celebrated defenders until only one remained.

The challenge began with a difficult choice between Cameroon legend, Rigobert Song and Ivory Coast great Kolo Toure.

Troost-Ekong opted for Song, a decision that set the tone for a series of difficult calls.
