[edit] Football career

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.[citation needed] He scored his first ever Serie A goal in a 2-2 draw against Inter at the end of the season 2003.

Fiorentina signed him as a key part of their renovation[citation needed] as the team came back to Serie A in 2004. 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.[1]

Obodo played his first UEFA Champions League with Le zebrette in 2005-06 season. Partnered with Sulley Muntari, they formed a strong[citation needed] midfielder role up until Muntari's exit for Portsmouth F.C. in 2007.

[edit] International career

He made his long-awaited debut for the Super Eagles in the LG Cup tournament featuring in the games versus Ghana and Cameroon. He also made a substitute appearance in the prestigious Brazil friendly, playing as a striker. He has also appeared in Nigeria's 4-1 win over Malawi in an ANC 2004 qualifier. Obodo scored his first goal in an 4-1 win over Sierra Leone.
