Ranking Saka, Kanu, Mikel & Nigeria’s Greatest FA Cup winners

He may not have featured in the final, but Saka became the latest Nigerian player to get his hands on the FA Cup this weekend as Arsenal defeated Chelsea in the Wembley final.
It was a fantastic performance by the Gunners, who had also excelled in defeating Manchester City in the semi-final—maybe the team’s best showing under Mikel Arteta—and Arsenal fans will be hoping that this success can send this young side on their way to further glories.

Having penned a new long-term contract at the Emirates Stadium, Saka will hope this is the first of many more future successes.

Bukayo Saka

The highlight of Utaka’s four-year spell in English football with Portsmouth was their FA Cup success in 2008.
The forward, who arrived at Pompey from Stade Rennais, didn’t truly translate his Ligue 1 goalscoring form to the English game, although he did play in their 1-0 victory over Cardiff City.

Starting on the right flank, Utaka was one of several African players in that side alongside Sulley Muntari, Papa Bouba Diop and Nwankwo Kanu.

John Utaka

It seems like a long time ago now, but Iwobi was—once upon a time—the bright young hope at Arsenal, and was part of the side that defeated Chelsea in the 2017 FA Cup final.
Iwobi, like Saka, was an unused substitute on that occasion, as goals from Alexis Sanchez and Aaron Ramsey took the Gunners past the Blues.

Alex Iwobi

While Iwobi clinched the gold in 2017, Moses had a showing to forget, as he picked up two yellow cards in 11 second-half minutes as his showing came to a premature conclusion.
It was a misery repeated by Mateo Kovacic as he was dismissed on Saturday, although Moses did at least make amends.

One year later, he was part of the Chelsea team that dispatched Manchester United 1-0 at Wembley, playing 90 minutes as the Blues got their hands on the historic cup.

Victor Moses

Before Chelsea were quite the force they are now, Babayaro ensured that Nigerian fans took interest in the West London heavyweights.
He made 132 league appearances on the Blues’ left flank, and enjoyed great success in the late 90s—winning the Cup Winners’ Cup and the Super Cup under Gianluca Vialli.

In 2000, he also clinched the FA Cup alongside George Weah, as Roberto Di Matteo’s winner downed Aston Villa in the final.

Celestine Babayaro

The first Super Eagle to win the FA Cup, Amokachi was a winner with Everton in 1995 as they dispatched Manchester United in the final.
It was the last major silverware the Toffees won, and represented Amokachi’s highlight in England, as he struggled to build on this success.

The Merseysiders’ semi-final victory over Tottenham Hotspur ranks as one of the striker’s outstanding career performances, as he netted twice in a 4-1 triumph at Elland Road.

Daniel Amokachi

Mikel won almost all there was to win during his time with Chelsea, including two Premier League titles, the Champions League in 2012 and the 2013 Europa League.
He didn’t win any competition more often than the FA Cup, however, having clinched the crown three times during his decade at Stamford Bridge.

The first success came in 2007, as Didier Drogba’s extra-time winner downed Manchester United, and he followed that up with further successes in 2009 and 2012.

John Obi Mikel

The only player on this list to have won the cup with two separate teams, Kanu was a winner with Arsenal following his arrival in England, and later clinched the title with Portsmouth—alongside Utaka.
With the Gunners, he reached three consecutive finals, making up for a defeat in 2001 by coming off the bench in victory over Chelsea in 2002, and then winning another medal as an unused substitute in 2003.

Five years later, he made his mark in the tournament once again, netting the winner—and the only goal of the game—as Portsmouth defeated Cardiff City.

It was the final great act of a superb career.
