Vincent Enyeama Misses Out On BBC African Player Of The Year

Nigeria and Lille Goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama has said he would have won the BBC African Player of the Year if fellow Nigerians would have voted.
Enyeama was named alongside eventual winner Algerian Yacine Brahimi, Gabonese Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ivorian pair Gervinho and Yaya Toure.
Brahimi came out on top after count of the ecord number of votes were submitted from fans in 207 FIFA-registered countries.
 
Enyeama said: “I wouldn’t say I felt bad because I deserved to win based on my performance through January till date, but it was down to voting and perhaps Nigerians didn’t vote enough.”
“In any case I want to say a big thank you to all those who did. It means I must put extra effort to my job for the next one,” said Enyeama, who is among the shortlisted for the annual Glo-CAF African Footballer of the Year Award which will hold in Lagos next month.
Enyeama has been Nigeria’s number one since 2002 after appearing at the Korea Japan World Cup.
