FIFA instructor rates Enyeama high

A FIFA instructor, Louis Crayton, on Tuesday
in Abuja rated Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent
Enyeama as one of the best shot stoppers
Africa has.
Crayton gave the rating in an interview with
the News Agency of Nigeria on the sidelines of
the FIFA Member Associations Goalkeeping
Course at the Abuja National Stadium.
He said Nigeria was one of the few countries
which have goalkeepers playing for foreign
clubs, and Enyeama has also proven himself to
be one of Africa’s finest.
“Nigeria is one of the countries which have
goalkeepers in foreign clubs such as Lille,
where Enyeama is, and Hapoel Be’er Sheva in
Israel, where Austin Ejide is,” Crayton, who
was a former Liberia national team
goalkeeper, said.
“Enyeama is also one of the best, if not the
best goalkeeper in Africa.”
The instructor said the aim of the course was
to improve goalkeeping skills of the coaches
who would then pass on the knowledge to
players.
Crayton, however, acknowledged that Nigeria
has talents which just needed to be nurtured
and developed.
The course which began on Sunday will end on
Saturday with 10 national team goalkeeper
trainers and 20 club trainers attending.
