Former Nigeria international Vincent Enyeama has been named the greatest African goalkeeper of all time.

Enyeama was named Africa’s all time best by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).

The IFFHS released the list of greatest goalkeepers in each federations with Enyeama selected from CAF.

The all time goalkeeper ranking was decided from 1987 to 2022

Italy’s 2006 World Cup winner Gianluigi Buffon was named the greatest goalkeeper from Europe and of all time

Jose Luis Chilavert was picked as South America’s greatest, Mohamed Abdullaziz Al-Deayea of Saudi Arabia was selected for Asia, former Real Madrid and Costa Rica shot stopper Keylor Navas got the nod in CONCACAF while former Manchester United goalie was picked for Oceania.

Enyeama represented Nigeria at three FIFA World Cups in Korea/Japan 2002, South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014.

He featured in all the Super Eagles’ matches as they became African champions at the 2013 AFCON in South Africa.

Also, he helped Enyeama to back-to-back CAF Champions League titles one 2003 and 2004.

The IFFHS is an organisation that chronicles the history and records of association football.

It was founded in 1984 by Alfredo Pöge in Leipzig. It was based in Abu Dhabi for some time but, in 2010, relocated to Bonn, Germany, and then in 2014 to Zürich.

IFFHS has no affiliation with FIFA, but the world football governing body has cited awards and records conducted by IFFHS on their website.

No doubt. The glory is coming to Nigeria and Nigerians. Not any tribe and ethnic group.

One thing I want all of us to understand is the fact that we let politicians use us for their personal gains.

A good example is the tribal sentiment and war that is currently going on in Lagos.

We must shun the tribal sentiment and vote for competent person that would benefit us all at the end of the day.

The almajiris, mai sharas, mai ruwas and all who voted for Buhari based on religious and tribal sentiments did not get direct
access to him to collect money or something.

We are all bearing the brunt of Buhari's poor governance.

The bandits destroying destinies in the core north and Katsina in particular are not selectively killing PDP or NNPP party members alone. They are walloping anyone that they see.

You can now see that voting Buhari based on sentiments did not help them.

Let us all shun tribalism and vote for competence.

Peace out.

Sparogatively arguable, but Vincent was and probably the only African goal keeper that retained his top form for the longest among African goalkeepers.

Many performed well, with exceptional saves and composure at the top stages of their career but many didn't last for as long as he did with his fine form.
