Luckily, the 25 year-old midfielder happens to be the only Nigerian to grace the prestigious Goal 50 list. I guess we all know why his name popped up. Needless to say Sunday Mba's contribution to Nigeria's victory at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations was immense and remarkable. It couldn't have gone unnoticed.

The list is annually compiled by world's biggest online football brand, Goal.com. Voting takes place at the end of domestic and international seasons for most countries.
