1. Austin JJ Okocha (Nigeria)
Despite his performances while playing for the Super Eagles and several
clubs in Europe, Austin JJ Okocha is referred to as the most unlucky
as the former Bolton Wanderers' star missed the award on three occasions
before he hanged his boots.
2. Finidi George (Nigeria)
After making a name for himself while playing for Ajax winning the UEFA
Champions League, former Nigerian international winger was never
nominated for the award in which many pundits claimed he should have
been considered for the African player of the year award.
3. Seydou Keita (Mali)
Malian professional footballer Seydou Keita is
another player that was not recognized by CAF for the award in spite of
his achievements while playing for Spanish giants Barcelona.
The
36-year-old won three La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey, and two
Champions League titles with Barcelona, but was beaten by Ivorian
football star Yaya Toure in 2011.
