West Brom new found hero, Brown Ideye thanks ex-international captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Nwaknwo Kanu for being the inspiration behind recent from for the Hawthorns.
Ideye on Saturday scored a brace for the Albions against West Ham as they progressed to the quarter final stages of the English FA Cup.
An improvement coming after a deal had been agreed for him to leave the club to Qatari side, Al Gharafa following a dismal display in the Baggies colours, scoring just two goals before Saturday, in all appearances.
Ideye said of Kanu who himself played for the club: ‘In
Nigeria, Kanu is one of the big players who everybody looks up to, so I
am happy that we talk. He calls me sometimes and I get advice from him
because he played here, too. He tells me to keep working hard and things
will turn out to be good for me. That’s what happened on Saturday.’
Having
hit four in three games now, the 26 year-old looks to the final of the
competition; he hopes to replicate Kanu’s record of taking Portsmouth to Wembley.
‘I
have never been to Wembley so it would be a dream come true to play
there. We have to win one more game. I would look forward to playing
there.
‘There is Wembley and the Maracana in Brazil. Everyone wants to play in the best stadiums.’
