Nigeria legend Yekini could shoot from impossible angles - Ex-Ghana defender Baffoe

Former Ghana international Anthony Baffoe has described the late Rashidi Yekini as a terrific finisher, asserting he could score from difficult angles.

The Nigerian striker - who is the Super Eagles leading scorer with 37 goals from 58 caps passed on May 4, 2012 at the age of 48.

Asides from his exploits with the national team, Yekini is best remembered for his time with Vitoria de Setubal where he scored 21 goals during the 1993-94 Portuguese Primeira Division season which earned him the golden boot. Setubal had gained promotion to the top tier that season.
