Efangwu Goziem Ekoku (born 8 June 1967) is a former Nigerian professional footballer, and sports commentator.
He began his career at non-league level, but made the move into league football in 1990 when he signed for AFC Bournemouth, who had just been relegated to the Third Division. His start in the Football League was not much of a show, as he managed just 20 games and three goals during the 1990-1991 season for a Cherries side who finished middle of the table table. He did better in 1991–1992, scoring 11 goals in 28 league games. He managed seven goals from 14 games in 1992–1993 before a £500,000 move to Norwich City on 26 March 1993 took him to the Premier League.
He scored Norwich’s first ever goal in European competition, against Vitesse Arnhem in the UEFA Cup on 15 September 1993, and famously helped them eliminate German club Bayern Munich in the next round. Just ten days later he scored four goals as Norwich beat Everton 5–1 at Goodison Park, becoming the first player to score more than three goals in a Premier League game. He managed a total of 27 league games that season, scoring 12 goals in the league (and 14 times in all competitions), although a slump in league form after manager Mike Walker departed to Everton in January saw the Canaries finish 12th in the league that season.
