The 'Chukwu Train' was feared not because of his massive physique, but due to the fact that he was predatory in the box and was every defender's nightmare –Jacob Tshisevhe will be the first to attest to that.
Those huge thighs went into good use into providing the balance that gave him the edge in protecting the ball, and he had the ability to get The Brazilians out of sticky situations using his power and sharpness.
The plus is that he had Roger Fetumba – who had the most educated left foot to ever grace the PSL – feeding him with passes written goals all over them.
Chukwu's goals came in many different ways from powerful headers, glancing headers, chip over the keeper, tap-ins, volleys, drives … a lot like Didier Drogba in his younger years at Chelsea.
He endorsed the old school number 9, the big guy that could bulldoze his way past any barrier if the situation forces him to, yet still be able to eliminate opponents with a touch of class.
You cannot forget the 'little and large' telepathic understanding that he shared with Daniel Mudau.
He totalled 63 goals in 124 starts in the PSL through the four stints he had with Sundowns, and there is no doubt that the first two of the three League titles between 1998 and 2000 and the BOB Save Super Bowl in 1998 were won with a huge contribution from the big Nigerian.
Straight after his last stint with Sundowns in 2004/05 he hung up his boots after failing to score a single goal.
He also played in Italy and Turkey, and was the KICK OFF Footballer of the Season, PSL Player of the Year and joint Players' Player of the Year in 1997/98.
