TUNSAK (Abuja, Nigeria)
What is Enyimba's position in the world and cld u please allay us with the full list and the criteria involved cos I wonder why Sooting (3sc) was not one of the best from Nigeria cum Africa having won the Winners cup in 1977 ( i think) and CAF cup in 1992, the first Nigerian cup to do that. And also got to the Champions cup twice in 1984 and 1996 losing to Zamalek of Egypt on the 2 occasions. What of Zamalek, what's there poition and even African's club of the century AL AHLY who has just won their league again in style without losing a single match. Where is Asec, does this rating really obsere OBJECTIVITY.
