Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.

Onyeali was one of the first African players to play in England, and the first black player to play professionally on Merseyside. — Wikipedia
