These are the worst misses in football history

Former Nigeria striker Yakubu Ayegbeni and several other football players cursed their stars when they missed glorious opportunities just in front of goal.

It is really a heart breaking to see a player of your club waste a chance which is easier to score than to miss.

Fans scream as and do all sorts of antics while they sit behind their TV sets or in the stands when they witness some of these unfortunate happenings in football.

Yakubu Ayegbeni in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa wasted the best chance of the tournament after his teammate had done the difficult job in beating the South Korean goalie, but with an empty post, the Nigerian missed the goal post by some few inches.

Great players who score spectacular goals from several yards away from the goal post have also had their own share of the misses just in front of post.
