He has represented England up to U21, but he is eligible to play for Nigeria due to his parents’ country of birth.

He was part of Fulham team squad who are only the second side to win promotion to the premier league through the play-offs twice in the space of three seasons after Leicester City were promoted via this method in both 1993-94 and 1995-96.Brilla
