Highs:
His Ajax years, which comprised 3 consecutive league titles and two Champion's League finals, one of them won (95).
Was also a staple of an ambitious Betis side with the likes of Jarni, Alfonso and Denílson, having scored nearly 40 goals in 4 seasons, way above his usual average.
Was part of Nigeria's dominating squad in the 90s, being one of its most experienced players.

Lows:
Despite Nigeria's promise it won just a single African cup in this period (tournaments every two years).
His career seemed to die out at only 29, as he started to play for clubs who fought to avoid relegation. A rather sad end for the career of one of the most decorated african players, as he hung up his boots at 33.
