Chidi Nwanu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chidi Nwanu (born January 1, 1967 in Port Harcourt) is a former football defender from Nigeria. He won 20 caps for his country, and was part of the squads for the 1994 FIFA World Cup and the 1988 Summer Olympics.
In 1988, while playing for ACB Lagos, Nwanu was declared unwanted by coach Patrick Ekeji. Nwanu went on to play in lower divisions in Belgium before he was picked up by Jupiler League side K.S.K. Beveren. After three seasons he was bought by giants R.S.C. Anderlecht, who won the league twice during his stay. Nwanu played very few matches, however, and he eventually retired after an unsuccessful spell in RKC Waalwijk.
