Vincent Enyeama of #Nigeria is widely regarded as one of Africa’s greatest and most reliable goalkeepers, a distinction he earned over the course of a career laden with silverware and unforgettable moments. But he once had a glaring weakness which was shown to the world on Africa's biggest stage, #AFCON, putting his team, the #supereagles, in trouble and making him come under intense scrutiny. This is the story of how one of Africa's greatest goalkeepers bounced back from humiliation and a scary accident.

Even though I knew this story, I could still feel the suspense. You’re such an amazing story teller.

Vincent Enyeama proves that you define yourself at any level in the world as you move in the life's journey and not based on the past or weakness . This man is a legend .

Captivating and heroic ! Nigeria has always paraded world class goalkeepers .... Emmanuel Okala, Best Ogedegbe, Peter Rufai and Vincent Enyeama. I was one of those who were disappointed by his poor penalty mentality especially at Tunisia 2004. I watched the 2006 qfnl standing in a crowd in a family home courtyard who had dstv. We were tensed up for 3 hours. Our tension dissipated finally by Enyeama's heroics . We were shocked to see him save those penalties . Each time he saved one, the crowd wd roar in Hausa " Ya tare!!!!!" meaning " he has blocked it:!!!"In 2010 AFCON quarter final , another marathon shootout against Zambia when Enyeama stepped up to take the winning penalty after making several saves, the crowd at the viewing center where I watched the game chanted Enyeama's name..." Enyama, ci mu je gida "!!! over and over, meaning " Enyeama, score so we can go home"!!! Thank you for this great documentary.

Enyeama is the greatest goal keeper to wear Nigeria's colours

Enyema is a Legend!! Will remain Nigeria's best goal keeper of all time.

Thanks for refreshing our memory so sad that inspite of this feet.CAF never recognised him.Or gave him any award.

@akingold2467

Clearly Nigeria's best ever goalie. I rate him above Peter Rufai.

@lionuel1604

I remember this day, I heard some persons fainted cause of the pressure. I remember Kanu walking to take the penalty, my God it was high tension. Even the way you narrated it my heart was beating still

@kosokojoy1615

Nigeria best goalie ever .

@nuelreview5636

for me he is the best and during the time he was a active goalkeeper for us he was my favorite player in the team

@abrahamijiekhuamhen4383

Enyeama is one of the best keepers Nigeria ever had.

@dorisbrown6696

One of the best, messed up by Oliseh and arrogancey mchew

@olusegun.b.olofin5278

Chief Onigbinde did great scouting and picking Vincent Enyeama and took the risk by picking him to the world Cup as a home based player.

@sam_amatey

This was such a great watch. That Tunisia game in 04 almost killed me

@ehiedummoye7242

He will never be forgotten. He served and he served his country well.

@MohammedMMai

Enyema is best of all time. All our national team players are excellent. Their labour shall not go in vain. Hurray to our national heroes of old and present time.
