Very good first half, Barker and Angelino were causing havoc down their right side. Slackened off 2nd half and needed that 3rd goal. Leicester offered little in attack and their keeper was at fault for the last two goals.

Iheanacho kelechi

Was on loan with Columbus Crewe until we got clearance, then he joined us 3 January 2015.

A really promising Nigerian youngster who is not quite 28 yet - 10 too many. Still lots to learn mind.

uh huh, honest lads them nigerians about their age

need to add 10 years to most of them

In 1989 Nigeria's youth national teams were banned by FIFA for fielding over-age players in FIFA-organised youth tournaments. The birth dates of three players at the 1988 Olympics were different than the ones used by those players at previous tournaments. The resulting ban lasted for two years and Nigeria was also stripped of its right to host the 1991 FIFA World Youth Championship.

In the 1999 FIFA U-17 World Championship Nigeria beat Japan 9â€"0. Following the game, Japan's French manager Philippe Troussier quipped that he saw one of Nigeria's U-17 players enter a taxi "with his wife and two children", implying that Nigeria had fielded over-age players

cameroon but a good one
Lazio threatened legal action against those who questioned the age of their 17-year-old Cameroonian player Joseph Minala.
The Italian club have denied claims he is 41 and state that his birth certificate is "absolutely legitimate".
