stars in Europe - Uche not angry at Nigeria World Cup snub

The Villarreal striker was not picked by Keshi, despite scoring 12 goals in the Spanish top flight this season. Uche has not played for his country since they won the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa last year. The 30-year-old insists, however, that he holds no grudges against Keshi. "Of course as a professional footballer you'd love to represent your country, but I have never had bad words towards the national coach," Uche is widely regarded as one of Nigeria's most reliable strikers at international level and is one of his nation's all-time top scorers, with 18 goals in 45 appearances, behind Rashidi Yekini, Segun Odegbami and Yakubu Aiyegbeni.

Ruud Gullit, born Rudi Dil, 1 September 1962), is a Dutch football manager and former football player who played professionally in the 1980s and 1990s. 

He was the captain of the Netherlands national team that was victorious at Euro 88 and was also a member of the squad for the 1990 World Cup and Euro 92.

At club level, in 1987 he moved from PSV Eindhoven to A.C. Milan for a world record transfer fee.

Easily recognizable with his distinctive dreadlocks, he was part of the famed Dutch trio at Milan which included Marco van Basten and Frank Rijkaard. 

Gullit won three Serie A titles and two European Cups with Milan.

Gullit was named the European Footballer of the Year in 1987 and the World Soccer Player of the Year in 1987 and 1989. 

Normally an attacking midifielder, he was a versatile player, playing in numerous positions during his career. 

In 2004 he was named one of the Top 125 greatest living footballers as part of FIFA's 100th anniversary celebration.

Gullit was working to promote the Belgian-Dutch 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup bid.
