Honours:
2 domestic league titles, 2 domestic cups

Highs:
The Olympic Games Gold Medal winning team was to be one of Africa's most iconic teams, and certainly the most iconic of the 90s.
Lows:
Disciplinary problems led to the premature end of his international career, even despite being captain.
Played for some of Europe's top sides but mostly on the rebound from bigger teams. The UEFA Cup final lost in 2002 was as close as he got (but he didn't even play the crucial match).
