BORN: May 1997
CLUB: Ipswich Town
Remember When: He won Man of the Match against France after running them ragged.
Bio: Ireland’s favourite son. Chieo was plucked out of League One by Stephen Kenny and was an instant hit in the green shirt.
A first goal came against Azerbaijan and three more followed in a short period of time, including a bicycle kick against Belgium.
Most of all though, Ogbene has delivered world class performances against some of the best countries in the world. France and Portugal have already suffered against the former Limerick FC man and we wonder who will be next.
International Highlights:
Congratulations to Chiedozie Ogbene on winning the RTร man of the match ๐ฎ๐ชโฝ๐

An outstanding performance from Ireland. A round of applause for the management team, the resilience of the defence, the work-rate of the midfield and the brilliant endeavours of the forwards.
Molumby and Ogbene absolutely outstanding ๐ pic.twitter.com/A6kScb9Sya
Chiedozie Ogbene certainly added value when he came on last night ๐จ

Michael Obafemi hasn't played much lately so perhaps he was being managed in order to start him against Armenia as well.
Wouldn't mind seeing the two of them start together.#COYBIG pic.twitter.com/d1RGVbyrJr
