Former Super Eagles captain, Kanu Nwakwo has described ex goalkeeper of the side, Vincent Enyeama as one of the best shot stoppers in the world, Bestchoicesports.com.ng can report

Kanu, two-time Africa Footballer of the Year winner, stated this on Thursday.

Vincent Enyeama who made 101 caps for the Super Eagles had his best of days with the Super Eagles during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa as well as his heroics in the team’s glorious journey to winning the Africa Cup of Nations in 2013 still in Orange nation

Kanu who played several years with the former Enyimba of Abah goalie in a post he made on his Twitter handle, bemoaned the ‘separation’ created by the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic that has made close gathering a difficult affair.

In a picture of himself and Enyeama in a national team camp training holding hands, Kanu said “Throwback to when social distancing wasn’t a thing.”

Adding that Enyeama was a safe hand “@vicentenyeama001 my brother was one of the best in the world and am proud of him { Safe Hands }”

It could be recalled that Vincent Enyeama unceremoniously retired from national team duties following altercations with then former coach of the side, Sunday Oliseh.

Enyeama made the headlines when he stopped Argentine legend, Lionel Messi severally during one of the group matches against the perennial foes.
