Well, I cannot categorically confirm now if he's the one or not, but let's just take a closer look at his profile!
Sunday Ogorchukwu Oliseh (born 14 September 1974 in
Abavo, Delta State) is a former Nigerian footballer and
coach, who in his active player career played as a
midfielder. He now lives in Belgium
Football career
A physical, technical defensive midfielder, Oliseh played for
well known clubs such as AFC Ajax, Borussia Dortmund and
Juventus F.C..
Oliseh played 54 international matches and scored two
goals
for Nigeria, and played at the Football World Cups of
1994 and 1998. Oliseh also participated in the Olympic gold
medal winning team of 1996.
He is mostly remembered for scoring the winning goal in the
group stage match against Spain in the 1998 World Cup, as
Nigeria prevailed 3–2. A throw-in deep in the Spanish half
was headed clear by a defender – Oliseh ran and fired an
explosive shot from 25 yards and took Spanish goalkeeper
Andoni Zubizarreta completely by surprise. Despite
captaining Nigeria during the 2002 African Cup of Nations,
Oliseh was omitted from his country's World Cup squad later
that year for disciplinary reasons. After missing out on
World Cup selection, Oliseh retired from international
football in June 2002.
In March 2004, Oliseh was sacked by Borussia Dortmund
after punching team-mate Vahid Hashemian while on loan
at
VfL Bochum.
In January 2006, at the age of 31, Oliseh retired from
professional football after playing a half season for Belgian
top club K.R.C. Genk
His younger brothers, Azubuike and Egutu, are also
professional footballers; another brother is Churchill Oliseh
and his nephew is Sekou Oliseh.
