Who is Nigeria's greatest goalkeeper of all time is a tricky question to answer about a country that has produced some of the finest shot-stoppers in the history of the game.

The Super Eagles currently boast the talents of Stanley Nwabali, Francis Uzoho, and Italy-based Maduka Okoye, but many before them raised the standard so high that Nigerians have come to expect near-perfection from anyone manning the posts for the national team.

It is not surprising in a country that once produced some of Africa's safest pair of gloves - Emmanuel Okala, Joe Erico, Alloysius Agu, Ike Shorunmu, to name a few.

While it's true that the Super Eagles have struggled to find a world-class goalkeeper in recent years - Carl Ikeme being the notable exception - it's not for lack of tradition.

Nigeria has boasted some brilliant gloves-men across different generations. Soccernet.ng takes a trip down memory lane to rank ten of the best.
