You think it is easy for an African goalkeeper to even play in a top tier league in Europe?

Before Enyeama, how many African goalkeepers played top tier competition in Europe?

Yes! One of the best then. Enyeama was among the top 20 in the world then. Clubs were looking at him after his heroics against Argentina at the world cup


Stop it oga,
Vincent Enyeama was NEVER among the top 20 best goalkeepers in the world at anytime during his whole career.
Maybe in the African continent but NEVER in the world!!!

No jokes. The commentators were shouting "what do Messi have to do to get pass the Nigeria Goal keeper"

The truth is that both represented Nigeria very well and were paid same amount of money

In their various clubs , they did well as well. A nice career for both of them

I asked how many?

What you people don't know is that it is very hard for African goalkeepers to get trials in Europe, let alone enjoy top-tier football.

If it is hard for other goalkeepers, it is ten times harder for African goalkeepers.

You just have to be world-class to get up there, which is what Enyeama was.

But thinking of this now, I can't help but wonder what caused the degradation in our team squad.

There are no exceptional players anymore... Nothing to look forward to, no one to cheer with our full chest.

How old are you again? Just google Messi vs enyeama. At some point, there were strong rumours of arsenal wanting to buy him. His only crime was being an African who began his career back here, unlike the Mendy and onana who grew up in France and Holland, and we're exposed to international football at early ages.

Enyeama was very good, but pls let’s not fabricate excuse. Onana was born in Cameroun.

This one... The Goal keeper with one of the longest cleansheets in a European League. He was one match shy of breaking a record.

If I remember correctly, 21 matches without conceding a goal.


I think it was even an owngoal that prevented him from breaking the record. Up till now I dey suspect the teammate.

onana entered europe when he was 13 years or so.... what year did enyeama enter europe? there is no excuse anywhere.
Enyeama would have gotten more recognition if he was white or entered europe earlier. he almost broke the record for consecutive clean sheets in the history of the French league and was also the number one penalty taker for his Israeli's club at some point. Easily the best keeper in Africa during his time, together with kameni.

Dosu Joseph was not that good.

I do not know why that Dosu was that celebrated. To me I preferred Emmanuel Babayaro to him as at then. The same scenario played out between Enyeama and Ejide. Ejide was the first choice goal keeper at the 2002 world cup. Just because of Enyeama's Superb performance in the match against England at the world was what made him one of the best goalkeepers Nigeria would ever have.

these guys eeh, i really remember watching both of them compete to mount the goalie, we do watch out for who starts each match because both of them were superb BT enyeama always gets the nod because of his sharp reflex and experience playing in foreign league..
not this days that we have jokers as keepers, I stopped taking our goalies serious after that last minute mahrez goal dumped us in afcon..dt goal was too cheap because of the rookie keeper
we no have IT goal keepers grin

Vincent was one of the best in his time..When Jens Lehmann retired,he was among the candidates Arsenal wanted to get as replacement..He was actually the best goalkeeper in Ligue1 for a solid 2 seasons at least..Definitely one of the greats..
Re: Enyeama: Ejide Contributed To Me Being One Of The Best Goalkeepers In The World by Ausval: 10:33am On Jan 18, 2021
Are you aware he won player of the season in ligue 1 and footballer of the year in Israel .are you also aware he scored 9 goals for Hapoel Tel Aviv between 2007-2011..i guess your answer is no .

You are right.
That goal pissed me off.
The keeper was just rooted on a spot.

I agree

Did you watch the friendly match we played against Argentina prior to the world cup?

They actually scored that our yeye keeper one cheap free kick like dat

That was when I knew he wasn't good, because it was very glaring that he's confused

What stopped Enyeama from getting into big clubs was actually his height... coaches were not convinced but that guy was one of the best in the world no cap
