Former Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama is in grief following the death of his father, Philip Enyeama.
Ballgist reports that Vincent Enyeama is now an orphan after the retired shot-stopper announced the sad news of his father’s demise following an Instagram post.
Enyeama took to his social media account to share the sad news with a video of him and his father playing a game of Table Tennis.
“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,” Enyeama wrote as a caption to the video with his father.
Enyeama did not provide additional details surrounding his father’s passing but eulogized his father for a life well spent.
“You stood in for many, you fought for many to achieve their dreams,” he added.
“I am proud to have been fathered by you. It’s a series – your number was called. Farewell. God rest your soul in peace.”
Regarded as one of Nigeria’s greatest-ever goalkeepers, Vincent has been back in his homeland after ending his playing career in France with Lille in 2018.
The loss of his father comes as a blow for the 41-year-old, who has now become an orphan after his mother, Lucy, past away in 2015.
