Kanu

I remember the 5-1 thrashing of Deportivo in the UEFA Cup and a goal he got at the North Bank where he dummied the keeper before going round him to score the 4th or 5th I think.
Personally I think there was more good than bad to remember him by. I know he was regarded as lazy but I enjoyed his time with us
That was brilliant but my favourite was when he did pretty much the same to Steve Ogrizovic in a 3-0 win at Highbury. I remember football focus did a tribute to how great he was then Kanu embarrassed him big style with a similar dummy. Big Oggy retired shortly after.

I loved Kanu simply because he was something totally different and played football with a smile on his face.

Some of the things he done on the ball were jaw droppingly good and I think we was honoured to see him in his prime.

All the goals mentioned so far bring back so many great memories of a Gooner legend. On top of those, I remember the game at Anfield in December 2001-2002 when Van Bronkhorst got sent off in the first half. Down to 10 men, Kanu was immense playing as a midfielder. That game turned our season after losing 1-3 at home to Newcastle the week before.What a team that was.
