Timeline
Christian Obodo (born 11 May 1984 in Warri, Nigeria) is a Nigerian former footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.
He was plucked from relative obscurity in the Nigerian league, playing for Plateau United before he became one of the hottest properties in the Italian Serie A where he had a brilliant season at Perugia.
Obodo is regarded by many as one of the most skilful and talented midfielders to play for the Super Eagles since the 1994 era.
Little wonder, a sports radio personality and media mogul – noted for nicknaming Nigerian footballers – describes him as bundle of skills, a phrase which later stuck and is now synonymous with Obodo's skilfulness.
Obodo exudes a high level of confidence in games.
He is never shy of taking on opponents.
Renowned for his dribbling, energetic play and surging runs, he is best when he plays through the centre of the pitch where he dribbles and often makes surging runs towards goal.
In 2001, Obodo played for the Flying Eagles coached by Stephen Keshi at the African Youth Championship in Ethiopia.
Though the team crashed out of the tournament with just one point from 3 games, Obodo showed a lot of promise in a team that had other players such as Bartholomew Ogbeche and Christopher Justice.
He scored his first ever Serie A goal in a 2–2 draw against Inter at the end of the season 2003.
He made his long-awaited debut for the Super Eagles in the LG Cup tournament in 2003 featuring in the games versus Ghana and Cameroon.
He also made a substitute appearance in the prestigious Brazil friendly, playing as a striker.
Fiorentina signed him as a key part of their renovation as the team came back to Serie A in 2004.
He has also appeared in Nigeria's 4–1 win over Malawi in an ANC 2004 qualifier.
Obodo scored his first goal in a 5–2 win at Algeria.
They only bought half the registration rights and in 2005 La Viola and Perugia were forced to make a blind auction to decide his future.
Perugia won the auction but immediately sold him to Udinese.
Obodo played his first UEFA Champions League with Le zebrette in 2005–06 season, partnered in midfield with Sulley Muntari, up until Muntari's exit for Portsmouth F.C. in 2007.
He made six appearances out of 10 in the 2006 World Cup qualification series, scoring a goal.
At the 2006 African Cup of Nations, he featured in 4 of Nigeria's six games, scoring in the 2–0 win over Zimbabwe.
Obodo last played for the Super Eagles in 2008.
On the morning of 9 June 2012, Obodo was reportedly kidnapped by gunmen near Warri, Delta State.
He was rescued the next day in nearby Isoko by men of the Nigerian police force, no ransom was paid, and suspects were arrested.
On 28 January 2014, the Portuguese side S.C. Olhanense announced they had agreed to a deal with Obodo after playing in a training game against Lokomotiv Moscow.
