INFO:
John is a former centre forward, occasionally deployed as winger. Born in Nigeria, he transferred to Bahrain when he was 19, playing excellent seasons with Al-Ahli Manama from 2004 to 2007 and Al-Muharraq in 2007-08. He was signed by Belgian team Excelsior Mouscron (a huge deal at the time for Bahraini football), where he had a very good year and a half experience. Afterwards, he played in Turkey for Eskişehirspor, in Kuwait for Al-Jahra, in Qatar for Al-Kharaitiyat and Al-Mesaimeer. He eventually spent the rest of his career in Thailand from 2015 to 2021 (except a short experience in Malaysia in 2019 at Felda United), playing for Bangkok United, Air Force United, Khon Kaen United, and Chonburi. He capped for Bahrain 49 times, scoring 12 goals.
John was a strong striker, gifted with solid speed on the distance. His ability to keep the ball and defend it with his physique, and his constant movements to the sides as well as outside of the area, enabled him to hold the entire forward line by himself. He was notably good in the air as he scored several times and even more assisted his teammates with good headers. Decent in passing the ball with his feet, he sometimes delivered solid through passes, first time passes, and occasionally surprising long balls. He liked tracking back to help the defence, sometimes recovering the ball around his own area or sweeping it away during opposition's corner kicks. About his cons though John wasn't fast in short spaces, his movements when turning were far from smooth, and his ball control wasn't always good. Therefore, even though he possessed remarkable dribbling skill, he wasn't too hard to take the ball off unless he helped himself with his physique. His biggest flaw was undoubtedly his lack of shot accuracy from favourable positions as he often got himself in good spots before sending unbelievably awful shots.
