Daniel Amokachi knew where he was headed even before his career had begun.
Baked at the famous Kaduna Kick & Die (KKD), Da Bull was only waiting to exhale professionally.
Ranchers’ Bees that had born out of the ashes of DIC Bees were most willing to take a gamble on the 16-year old. It paid off, handsomely!
Argentine coach Alex Dominguez saw a raw gold in the kid that had hardly finished at high school and blooded him into the star-studded team. His Ranchers’ Bees’ story remains a tale on its own.
His soccer stories have been told severally but his added goodies he brought to the beautiful game, are sparsely celebrated.
Affectionately good looking with the right physique to make Milan, New York, London and Paris go green with envy.
Da Bull’s runway sashays would have got designers breaking the bank for the player who also sashayed on the pitch.
However, designers never took their eyes off the golden boy who swam in the ocean of football firsts, as his images on the magazines’ front covers attracted more readers.
His fashion had the Eagles’ wings to fly, Da Bull pioneered a brand new Eagles’ fashion statements.
His ear ring, just one, on his left ear was a first for the Eagles, took a few baggage along as the Eagles clearly won the World Cup Fashion title at US’94 World Cup.
Turkey was emerging as the new fashion world aiming to catch up with Italy, Spain, France and England, Da Bull’s ship had fashionably docked.
Besiktas, multiple Turkish Super Lig champions in the Queen of Cities, added a fashion appeal to Da Bull’s signing.
Istanbul received a finished gold, traded not with the London OTC, Da Bull refused to forget his famed football firsts in Merseyside.
Hitting the 2000th goal in the Turkish top flight milestoned a historic one individually and for the club.
The fast emerging runways in the city halving Europe and Asia needed Da Bull’s sex appeal badly to find a robust fashion direction in the highly completive fashion world.
Equally skilful sex and fashion appeal wise, Turkish designers willingly broke the bank for the former Ranchers’ Bees’ newbie.
The Turkish football magazines won more readers over with Dan Bull’s sex and fashion appeal.
Back in the World Cup with his native Nigeria, Da Bull’s sex appeal was too hot for the fans at Foxboro and Cotton Bowl stadiums. Women screamed their heads as Da Bull sex appealed to the ball to behave with his one eared-ring striking replescently against the scorching US sun.
His shorts barely on his waist, danced to his own rhythm and rhymes, opponents struggled to stop him.
Eagles’ fashion colours appealing and getting the opponents admiring, Da Bull waltzed past them with ease.
His brilliant hand led the brilliant start to and search for Nigeria’s first ever goal at US’94, his hand signalled Finidi George to escape his opponent, with the ball on his feet, Rashidi Yekini had since concluded plans to tear the Bulgarian net.
Next to make hay was the former Club Brugge star, dilly-dallying Bulgarian defender bullishly punished and made look like an upstart, the ball in the net for Nigeria’s second. Da Bull sped away, and like the big black London cab, carried a lot passengers.
Did he also plan to open a dancing academy in Dallas?
Da Bull sexily raced to the corner flag to beat Roger Milla’s dance session, waist wriggling and dancing to the fans’ delight. Even the centre referee accidentally enrolled in the dance class as the noise at Cotton Bowl, Dallas, deafened the fans. The sex appeal still remains a talking point till date.
Danced again as Eagles blasted Greece wide apart with his sexy solo goal after receiving a pass from Michael Emenalo, his famous tap on Finidi’s butt on his famous all-on-fours doggy delight, closed a historic sex appeal chapter in Massachusetts.
Da Bull’s fashion and sex appeal remains the majority part of his first-filled brilliant career.
