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
illustrious 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.
