9jafooty's Glo Premier League Team of the Season

-


The 2014 Glo Premier League ended with a bang. Kano Pillars were crowned champions for the third straight season. Enyimba International of Aba came second, just like they did last season.

There were a lot of stand-out performers in a season that saw Mfon Udoh break Jude Aneke's 20 goal tally by hitting hoe 23 goals to end the season as top golscorer.
Rookie like Heartland gaolkeeper Emmanuel Iwu, Dickson Idakwo of Lobi Stars also made a name for themselves.

Who would have even though of Terkai Melai's seven goal haul as a goalkeeper or the rise of Kingsley Sokari, Tombara Tiongoli, Charles Henlong, Tijani Adamu and many more.

Elohor Godswill Ekpolo sits in the Barcelona dressing room, his Nike Tiempo boots comes off his foot as coach Jordi Vinyals pats him on the head for a great game and for good measure too. The talented right-back had earlier scored for FC Barcelona's Juvenile A squad (equivalent of the Barcelona C team) as they whipped Celtic 3-0 to round up the group stage matches of the 2013/14 Uefa Youth Champions League. The goal was his third in six group stage matches, as Barcelona's Under-19 team ran riot collecting 16 points from a possible 18in a group that also had the youth sides of AC Milan, Ajax and Celtic. Ekpolo is highly rated in the Blaugranas circles and is tipped to become a first team star very soon to follow the footstep of his more illustrious and established La Masia graduates like Carles Poyul, Sergio Busquets, and more recently Cameroonian youngster Jean Marie Dongou.

The former Kano Pillars midfielder says he is comfortable with the deal as it affords him a new challenge and an avenue to put himself in the window. "I'm really happy with the deal. It's a new challenge that I am looking forward to," he told 9jafooty from his base in Kuwait. "A lot of people were surprised I chose Kuwait, but I am happy. Kuwait will be a springboard to better things. This is just a stepping stone. "I hope to give my all to the fans of the club and also help the team win laurels during my stay here." Abdullah
