Ex-Eagles goalkeeper Enyeama loses father

Former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, has lost his father, Phillip Enyeama.

The retired goalkeeper made this known in a tribute alongside a video of himself and his late father playing Table Tennis which was shared on his Instagram account on Saturday.

He wrote, “To God be the glory for a life well spent. You were the reason a lot of people achieved what they achieved. You were selfless and generous. You stood in for many, you fought for many to achieve their dreams.

“I am proud to have been fathered by you. It’s a series. Your number was called. Farewell. God rest your soul in peace.”

Vincent’s father, Coach Phillip Enyeama, passed away at an advanced age after a distinguished coaching career. He played a significant role in his son’s early training and is revered for nurturing one of Africa’s most celebrated goalkeepers.

This marks another loss for Vincent Enyeama, as his mother had previously passed away in 2015.
