Former Super Eagles striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni made a special return to Everton FC on Saturday, as he attended their fixture against Chelsea FC, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The former Toffees forward received a rousing welcome from the Everton faithful, who continue to hold him in high regard for his outstanding contributions during his time at the club.

Yakubu remains one of Everton’s most memorable strikers in the Premier League era, having delivered crucial goals and unforgettable performances.

 His remarkable debut campaign in the 2007/08 season, where he netted 21 league goals, still stands as one of the finest individual seasons by a striker in the club’s recent history.

Renowned for his strength, clinical finishing, and commanding presence in the box, Yakubu consistently proved a difficult opponent for defenders.

 Beyond his goal-scoring exploits, he was a forward who imposed himself on matches and played a key role in Everton’s attacking identity during his spell.

His return to Hill Dickson stadium served as a reminder of his lasting legacy and the deep connection he shares with the club’s supporters.
