Ike Shorunmu (born October 16, 1967 in Lagos) is a football goalkeeper from Nigeria.

[edit] Career

After a few years he moved to play in Switzerland, and made his mark there. He was bought by Turkish club Beşiktaş J.K. in 1999 for $2,400,000 — but they released him as they thought he spent too much time with the national team. Shorunmu later played for other Swiss and Turkish clubs.

[edit] International

He has been the fist-choice goalkeeper of the national team, and played at the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Shorunmu was brought into the Nigerian national team by coach Clemens Westerhof in 1992.

[edit] Coaching Career

Shorunmu has recently served as the national team goalkeeper coach and now has been hired in the same capacity for Enyimba F.C.
