An old video of Kanu Nwankwo popularly known as Papilo has surfaced on social media.

The video was a music composed for him with clips of him displaying his talent on the video.

The former professional footballer was born on August 1, 1976. He played as a forward.

He was a member of the Nigeria national team, Iwuanyanwu Nationale, Dutch side Ajax, Inter Milan of Italy, and English clubs Arsenal, West Bromwich Albion and Portsmouth.

Nwankwo Kanu won a UEFA Champions League medal, a UEFA Cup medal, three FA Cup medals and two African Player of the Year awards amongst others. He is one of few players to have won the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, UEFA Cup and an Olympic Gold Medal.

He also made the third-most substitute appearances in Premier League history, appearing from the bench 118 times, and is regarded as one of the best players in African football history.

Reacting to the video on Twitter, some fans expressed their excitement at the amazing skills of Kanu.

Below are some comments;
