- 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.
If you cried after watching this video, gather here with your likes.. 😰
Enyeama is the greatest goal keeper to wear Nigeria's colours
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.
Joseph Dosu should be in your list. A great gp who was impeded by spinal injury.
You have a point. After keeping a clean slate against Kenya in a 3 nil win at the final wc q game, that unfortunate accident. If Dosu had gone to France, he would have done better than that ageing Rufai who was past his heyday . I've Shorunmu was also good and his confidence grew after the 2000 AFCON.@@moseskayode6643
Joseph Dosu have no place amongst the greatest keepers Nigeria produced, he have no super Eagles record or any club record that's how to rate a good player or a good keeper
Peter Rufai was a basket please remove
@johntgom. Rufai was actually the best goalie that ever man Nigeria national team goalpost. Before you call him basket do research about him right from St Goegery college Lagos to Sharks of PH back to Stationary Stores of Lagos to Femo scorpion of Ibadan that he single handedly brought from third tier of Nigeria league then onto elite before moving to dragon dahome because of the 1 year suspension handed to the super eagles player then for indispline which pave way and started the exodus of Nigeria players going abroad
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 .
Enyema is a Legend!! Will remain Nigeria's best goal keeper of all time.
Simple n friendly guy. Always cheerful with a smile on his face
Nigeria best goalie ever .
Clearly Nigeria's best ever goalie. I rate him above Peter Rufai.
True
Thank you for this memory....I miss Enyeama in goal. I wish he didn't have to retire when he did...one of Nigerias best ever
Thank you for watching!
He was a victim of Nigeria 😮
Thanks for refreshing our memory so sad that inspite of this feet.CAF never recognised him.Or gave him any award.
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
Im South African but what i now Nigeria are so lucky when it come to best goalkeeper in the world 😮
Enyeama is one of the best keepers Nigeria ever had.
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
Each time i see Enyaema in the goal post, their's this sense of relieve even before the match starts......left to me, he's the best goal keeper Nigeria ever had.
I pray we get such goal keeper again.❤❤❤
One of the best, messed up by Oliseh and arrogancey mchew
"A mentality monster...what a come back story."
I need to apply this too.
You're a fantastic story teller.
Thank you!
This was such a great watch. That Tunisia game in 04 almost killed me
Greatest of all time.
You narrated both 2004 and 2006 events so really well. It brought a lot of memories to me because I followed the tournaments very closely.
Everything you said was absolutely right. Weldon 👍👍
Thank you very much! And thank you for watching!
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.
I believe there are goalkeepers like Vincent in the local league who needed a look and given a chance .
We need to check the local leagues a find the next Vincent Enyeamas , the next number 10 players etcetera
He will never be forgotten. He served and he served his country well.
We still have the talents in the country. Invest in the local league, make it more competitive and attractive.
Spellbound by the narration. Amazing
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.
The best goal keeper in Africa to me.
He is Africa's best goalie of all time and he was awarded that title
Thank you so much for this insightful analysis!
Vincent Enyeama had always been a fearless man.
Brilliant content. Subscribed. Hope you make more videos on the AFCON23.
Nigeria misses the great Vincent Enyeama. He was our David De Gea. Like Onana, unfortunately, Uzoho keeps reminding us how great he was.
😢❤❤❤ life line once your time comes in life nothing on earth can stop it
Thank you, Cerebrone. Great tribute to one of Nigeria's iconic sporting heros.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Wow! What a story! So beautifully told.
Please make more stories like this
Slake no wan gree for anyone, he don leave the NTA background sound. Nice one chief
😂
😂😂
Kudos to the writer and narrator. This kept me captivated.
Had to drop that like!
Cerebrone, this is wonderful!
I didn't experience this but i felt like i was there.
See story telling.👏♥️
Thanks bro!
He is one of the greatest goalkeepers 🎉
Thanks for this documentary. It makes me appreciate the efforts of our National Hero's, as Fan and fellow country man, all we want is winning but failing to understand the pressure on them.
Well done enyema was well organised as goal keeper he had good mood 👍 and was ready for that good for him 👍
Enyeama always reminded me of the Buffon, good at goalkeeping but poor in PK. I remember vividly the good old days, watching Enyimba in CAF competitions on NTA, that was when we knew he was poor at saving pk, am glad he worked at improving it, he is still the best Nigerian goalie ever in my era, since i started with Ike shoromu
You tell it well, mehn! You tell the story well. Kudos! 👏
The goalkeeping issue we had before this tournament was a result of his untimely retirement from the team, no thanks to the stubborn Oliseh.
Vincent, the legend!
What a memorable video❤️
You narration is so vivid, took me directly to those AFCON MOMENTS
Good watch, this. Had me in touch with the old days.
A great goalkeeper. Sad how Sunday Oliseh's arrogance made him retire prematurely from the national team.
This is a brilliant narration. I really miss Enyeama.
This documentary is a necessary one. And you told it well. Well researched.
Enyeama is a legend here in Israel too, taking championships with 2 teams
Really a goodie
Thanks for sharing
I love this story abeg...... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a brilliant documentary 🇳🇬🎉
Only your commentary can rival Enyeama's performance. I utterly enjoyed your delivery, punchlines, insights and and choice of vocabularies. 🤗
It's a pity the way and manner he was forced to retire from the national team
well done to my fellow voice over / narrator. for I felt every moment on Vincent Enyeama
You are an awesome story teller
Wow! Great documentary! You captured those moments so beautifully well. Your analysis is top notch. And yes, Vincent Enyama is a "mentality monster "
I remembered very well.
Well narrated ❤
Great story and narration Bro, I I think Nigerians will get to appreciate him as the best goalkeeper Nigeria has ever produced till date... Until the worst and most clueless coach SUNDAY OLISEH. in Nigerian history came through...
Wao...
Good documentary, thank you. The voice tenure was excellent.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
Chief, your narration is excellent. Keep it up
Big Boss Vincent 🎉🎉❤
Great storytelling honestly. Just captivating all through.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Waoo..your narration was stunning..I was shaking and so inspired of the old story...
I didn't know the pressure on him at that time..we just watched the ball and blame them and not knowing the pressure.Thanks
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great narration.
Great job sir 🫡👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!
I remember this day and kanu's smile after scoring
It was a hot Saturday afternoon will never forget that, I almost fainted when Yobo and Ayila missed 😅
😂😂😂
The man was so terrified before taking the pen. Lol.
Omoooo make Uzoho watch this episode Ooooooo😂
I dey tell you
You are so so good
Thank you!
Very impressive throwback on Vicent but you fail to include his brilliance performance during the world cup against Argentina
Thank you for watching. The video was focused on just the story around Enyeama's early national team career, specific to AFCON. That came long before the Argentina games in 2010 and 2014.
You should be telling stories
I watched it but you painted it better
❤
Your storytelling is topnotch
Thank you!
😂Enyeama was very good in penalty, may be from onset he might not be good in penalties but later he picked up.
Hey! Guinea was not in our Group! Senegal lost their second match to a Mathew “Amoha” goal!
It was Yobo , then our defensive midfielder that lost the first two penalties!
I didn't say they were. I said Tunisia lost their final group game to Guinea, 3-0.
Yes, I said Yobo missed the first. The second penalty was taken by Taiye Taiwo. He scored. Yusuf Ayila, the defensive midfielder, missed the third penalty. We didn't miss the first two penalties. We missed the first and third penalties. Please check again.
If you observe, all goalkeepers were from the Nigerian League and a Nigerian team won the CAF champions League Super Eagles were eagles, not the super chickens we see now. What was the difference? Administration if you ask me.
Have you ever considered being a journalist documentarist? I can't help but subscribe. You are a great story teller. maybe you want to consider writing books, I can see another Achebe in the making.
This is so kind. Thank you! Yes, I plan to write some books. I definitely will, in the next few years.
Obinna Nsofor scores for Nigeria, not Obafemi Martins.
That's what I said. Martins crossed, Boumnijel parried it into the path of Obinna Nsofor who scored.
Oga make you dey try dey pay attention
What are you talking? The narrative about Enyeama and the penalties is pure nonsense.
Fake news
No he was not one of AFRICAS greatest goalkeepers, F NO....................................
"A mentality monster...what a come back story."
I need to apply this too.
