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.
