Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, who represents Udinese in Serie A, has chosen the iconic Brazilian shot-stopper Nelson Dida as his goalkeeping mentor and all-time favorite. Okoye, a key player for the Super Eagles, has often spoken about his admiration for Dida, noting the former AC Milan star's style and influence on his own career development.


During a recent interactive Q&A session on his Snapchat story, Okoye invited fans to "Ask me anything you want." A user seized the opportunity to inquire about the best player of all time and his number one goalkeeper. Maduka's response showcased his strong appreciation for Brazilian football, as he chose two Brazilian icons: Nelson Dida as his favorite goalkeeper and the dazzling playmaker Ronaldinho as his favorite football player off all time. This confirms the strong influence of the South American nation's footballing heritage on the Udinese star.
