Okoye, AKA "The Nigerian Nightmare" played many great games in his seven-year career as a Kansas City Chief. He went on to set records in rushing yardage and touchdowns for the 43-year old franchise and became the Chiefs all time leading rusher.

His interview will also promote his appearance at the Mo-Ark Sports Card and Collectible Show being held at the West Ridge Mall in Topeka, KS. Christian Okoye will be at the show on October 23rd 2004 from 11am to 2.00pm.

The Mo-Ark Show starts Friday October 22nd and runs through Sunday October 24th. The show features 60 dealers from 5 states offering a wide range of collectibles including Kansas City Chiefs items and Nascar diecast.

The West Ridge Mall is located at 1801 SW Wanamaker Rd Topeka, KS with show and mall hours on Friday and Saturday of 10am-9pm and Noon-6pm on Sunday.

Okoyes career was an outstanding achievement considering Okoye played football for only three years before playing for Kansas City. Prior to playing for the Chiefs, he played football at Azusa-Pacific University as well as competing in track and field; where he won seven national titles in shot-put, discus and hammer throw as well as amassing 17 All American honors in track and field.

In 1989 Okoye enjoyed his finest season for the Chiefs rushing for 1480 yards. In addition to his stats he collected a number of awards after the season: named Running Back of the Year, First team All-Pro, voted AFC Player of the Year by the NFL Players Association, received the Mackie Award for most touchdowns by an AFC player, voted Chiefs' Most Valuable Player, the Quarterback Club named him NFL MVP and won the Ed Block Courage award, one of the most prestigious awards in football. He later became the 30th member of the Chiefs' Hall of Fame.
