Shorunmu - commanding goalkeeper. (Allsport)
IKE SHORUNMU
Position: Goalkeeper
Born: 16.10.67
Club: Unattached
Giant goalkeeper Ike Shorunmu has been Nigeria's number one stopper despite being without a club.
The strange situation was thrown up when he was released by his club Besiktas for playing too much international football.
This has obviously led to Shorunmu becoming a little rusty, but he put in some superb displays to keep a string of clean sheets during qualifying for the World Cup and at the African Nations Cup.
Some have questioned the selection of a player who does not get much match practice, but he remains a quality goalkeeper.
