Finally he emerges as Nigeria’s goal
player of the year. Would say he deserve it after stand out performances from
both club and country. More awards to be won.
Vincent Enyeama has been named the
Goal Nigeria Player of the Year 2014, winning the award courtesy of
overwhelming votes from readers of the football website.
The Lille and Super Eagles
goalkeeper led the field that included other dynamic compatriots Ahmed Musa,
Obafemi Martins, Mfon Udoh and Ikechukwu Uche. A joyful Enyeama, 32, accepted
the award at his club in France on Monday morning.
"I’m really happy. I want to thank my teammates at
Lille, the Nigeria national team, my coaches, my wife, my fans, everybody who
voted for me, who scream for me during matches to encourage me. And the
journalists, without which nothing will be possible.”
Enyeama is only the second player to
win the Goal Nigeria Player of the Year award following John Obi Mikel’s
dominance in the past two years.
"I think it’s really hard for a goalkeeper to be
recognized. I want to say to all the other goalkeepers that they have to work
hard. If they work hard, with God, everything is possible,” he said.
With this award who knows manuel Nuer might just clinch the
ballon d’ or award later this month with Cristiano Ronaldo the favourite to
claim the award. Is this the Era for goalkeepers?
