Enyeama puts Malawi before birthdayon September 06, 2013 / in Sports 11:14 am / Comments TweetSuper Eagles’ number one goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama has said that he would have to celebrate his birthday after a victory against the Flames of Malawi in the 2014 World Cup qualifier in Calabar on Saturday. Enyeama was born on August 29 1982 in Kaduna and he started his football career at defunct Ibom Stars. Enyeama, who has been Nigeria’s first-choice since making his debut against England at the Korea/Japan World Cup in 2002, deliberately shelved his birthday celebration aside to focus on the crucial qualifier against Malawi. “We have come a long way and anything short of victory against Malawi would not be good enough considering our status in Africa,” he said. The former Enyimba shot-stopper stressed that even though his birthday remains one of the milestones in his career, but for the Eagles game against Malawi, he had to defer it until victory is sealed. “Saturday will be the best day for me to celebrate my birthday after the Eagles must have demolished Malawi and we would have to put smiles on the faces of all Nigerians.
