Portsmouth match winner Kanu hopes that his goal against Cardiff in the FA Cup final will be enough to earn him a new contract at Fratton Park.
Kanu said shortly after the final whistle: "They call me king.
"I have to deliver and hopefully I did. I have to thank God - God made it possible for me to score.
"This is the best moment of my life. I started the game and I won the cup for Portsmouth. I have felt nothing like this."
Kanu hit the post with an earlier chance, but added: "I kept going, I kept my head down and I scored.
"You have to take your chance and that's what I did.
"Portsmouth is not one of the four big clubs, no-one could believe we were going to do it and we did it."
The Nigerian now hopes to stay on with the Fratton Park club.
He added: "I hope the fans, Harry, everyone at the club will remember this day and they are going to give me a contract."
