Daniel Amokachi Daniel Owefin Amokachi ( born 30 December 1972 ) is a Nigerian former professional footballer , and former assistant manager of the Nigeria national football team . He has been a technical director since 2006 . With World Cup performances , he was third in the African Footballer of the Year award three times . As a forward , he was known for his speed , technique and physical strength , which earned him the nicknames Black Bull and Black Train . Amokachi , who is also very popular and well known in his country , contributed to Nigerias top two tournaments to the World Cup along with his attack partner Emmanuel Amunike . Amokachi scored the first goal of the UEFA Champions League with Club Brugge on 25 November 1992 , beating CSKA Moscow 1–0 . Club career . Amokachi , nicknamed The Bull , was discovered while playing for Ranchers Bees by Nigerian national team coach Clemens Westerhof , who brought the talented player to the 1990 African Nations Cup , and soon Amokachi moved to play for Club Brugge in Belgium . He competed in the new format of the Champions League , and became the first player to score in the competition , after his goal secured a 1–0 win in the opening match in the group stage against CSKA Moscow . Performing well in Belgium and at the 1994 World Cup , Everton became interested in Amokachi and their manager Mike Walker signed him for a fee of £3,000,000 ( $4,700,000 ) . He went on to win the FA Cup with Everton in 1995 , scoring two goals in the semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur after substituting himself into the match while Paul Rideout was receiving treatment ( the manager Joe Royle had only instructed him to warm up in preparation for possibly coming on ) . He appeared in the final only briefly , late on , again as a substitute but is remembered fondly for his beret-wearing celebrations afterwards . He remained at Everton until the end of the 1995–96 season , when he was transferred to Beşiktaş of Turkey for a fee of £1.75million . He had failed to make the impact at Goodison Park that many fans had been hoping for , and had been unable to win a regular place in the first team , as Rideout and Duncan Ferguson were firmly established as Evertons two strikers at that stage . He did , however , stand in for Ferguson while he spent six weeks in prison during the autumn of 1995 for an offence committed in Scotland 18 months earlier . After leaving Beşiktaş in 1999 , his playing career more or less ended . He signed with 1860 Munich , but the contract was cancelled after he failed a medical test . In turn he was rejected by Tranmere Rovers for the same reason . Amokachi trained with French second division side US Créteil , but the deal was hampered by injuries . American MLS team Colorado Rapids signed him in 2002 , but seeing he was not fit enough they released him before a single match was played . He went to play in the United Arab Emirates , but was denied again due to his medical condition . International career . He played many international matches for Nigeria , and was part of the team that participated in the 1994 FIFA World Cup and 1998 FIFA World Cup and won the 1994 African Nations Cup . He also helped win the Olympic gold medal in 1996 , scoring in the Gold Medal game itself against Argentina . Amokachi sustained an injury just ahead of the 1998 FIFA World Cup , played one match at the tournament , but struggled with knee problems thereafter . Managerial career .
