Forgotten Super Eagles striker, Yakubu Aiyegbeni was listed among the 11 best players that excelled in the English Premier League at the weekend by Entertainment Sports Programming Network (ESPN) Soccernet.
The Yak scored a brace in the 3-3 draw between his club,Blacburn Rovers and Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium on Saturday and his all round performance in the game earned him a place in the Team of the Week selection together with Arsenal's on-form captain,Robin Van Persie.
ESPN wrote this about the Yak: It's been some time since Yakubu, once Everton's club record £11.25 million signing, was a regular hero but his goals could be crucial if Blackburn Rovers are to stand any chance of survival. He scored twice - falling one short of a 'Yak-trick' - the second of which was a penalty deep into stoppage time at the end of a game already mired in controversy. The talent remains even if his hunger, ironically, has been questioned, but Yakubu's signing could yet be a one-off managerial masterstroke by Blackburn's Steve Kean.
Also listed are Man City goalie,Joe Hart,Chelsea destroyer,Glen Johnson of Liverpool,Manchester United's Ryan Giggs and Arsenal duo of Theo Walcott and Alex Song.
