It was quite difficult to assess the abilities of some goalkeepers since there was no video coverage for those whose career span in early 50's - 70's. We had to rely on the verdict of some ex-footballers such as Joe Erico, segun Odegbami , peter Fregene , Christian chukwu ... To make our selections. Lets see why these lads where regarded as Nigeria's seven greatest goalkeepers of all time.
Sam Ibiam: cut an incredible reputation as the goalkeeper players can't beat with the ball. He concede only 9 goals in six years of his Career in Nigeria.started his career with calabar xi in 1946 , port Harcourt xi 1949, and won governor's cup with Railway FC where he starred with teslim 'thunder' Balogun in 1953.
Inua Lawal Rigogo: the story of rigogo remains a myth. He is perhaps the greatest goalkeeper Nigeria ever had. Though, many believed that he employed charms with the way he flies from pole to pole and made some incredible somersaults that can't be ordinary. Ghana's president Kwame Nkurmah once described him as a 'flying cat'. Conceded only 4 goals over his 8 years career between 1960 - 1969.
Peter Fregene: one of the finest goalkeepers Nigeria ever had. Fregene is indeed the longest serving goalkeeper whose Career spanned through the 60's , 70's, and 80's. He became the national team goalkeeper from 1966 - 71 and resurfaced again after 12 years. Fregene was in goal for nigeria in the 1968 Olympic games in Mexico and he won FA cup 2 times with ECN and stationary stores in the 60's and 70's.
Emmanuel Okala: the frightening moustache and intimidating goalkeeper of enugu rangers. He's perhaps another player that could pass as a Nigeria's greatest goalkeeper of all time. With his height and size, attackers were afraid to approach Okala and often don't find space to shoot or place the ball to the far end. He was fondly called the 'Iroko in the net' okala was in goal for Nigeria and won all African games gold medal in 1973. He was also in the team that won nigeria's first nations cup in 1980.
Best ogedengbe: he was perhaps the most skillful goalkeeper Nigeria ever had. Just like the great boxing legend ,Mohammed Ali, ogedengbe would boast that no one will score him in a particular match and it will be so..
Peter Rufai: he was goal keeper and a great team leader. Rufai was always the first choice goal keeper anytime he was invited. He won the nations cup in 1991 and became the first nigerian goalkeeper to play in FIFA world cup in the same year.
Vincent Enyeama: a great goalkeeper in all ramifications. Though he doesn't cut the myth of Inua Lawal Rigogo or the colossal reputation of Emmanuel Okala , yet Enyeama still pass as nigeria's greatest goalkeeper of all time in terms of his achievements. Enyeama won CAF champions league back to back in 2003 and 2004 . He won Nigeria premier league twice and the FA cup. He also won African cup of nations in 2013 and has has been the first choice goalkeeper to 2 FIFA world cup and the confederation cup.
