His goal scoring intelligence is impeccable. His equalizer against Brazil in the Olympics comes to mind, how he calculated that the Dida wld grab shadows by him raising that ball with his right foot from a pass by Fatusi is one of the most intelligent play i have seen in football!

Kanu is the prototype “target man.” Excellent post player with his back to the goal, who is most deadly on the turn. He is also the definition of composure. Never in a hurry to finish a chance, he rounded the keeper more than any other forward I know. 🎉🎉

Kanus greatest skill, "calm under the storm", in a situation where most players would panic, or choose to turn around when backing the goalie, kanu would flick the ball over whoever is in his way and turn around later, and he would do it in such a slow calm fashion as if it means nothing.
