100th cap plans delights Enyeama

Vincent Enyeama has expressed his ecstasy at plans by the Nigeria Football Federation to honour him on the occasion of his 100th senior cap for Nigeria.
The Super Eagles’ goalkeeper and skipper, presently at 99 caps, will notch his century when Nigeria takes on Bolivia in an international friendly at the Akwa Ibom Stadium on March 26.
Enyeama said on the proposed plan: “Nothing matches being recognized by your own country. I am very excited at the prospect of reaching 100 caps, and more so at the decision by the NFF to honour me on the day.
“The NFF media department has also been speaking with me and I have followed the publicity they have generated about it. It is a delight. I am also excited by the fact that it will happen in Uyo, my hometown. What a great honour!”
Of his 99 caps so far, the three-time FIFA World Cup star picks the Nigeria/Argentina FIFA World Cup match at the Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg on June 12, 2010 as his best so far.
He said: “Yeah, I can tell you that is one match I will always remember. I was highly inspired, and although we lost, I was selected the Man of the Match. We lost 0-1 but Lionel Messi did not score. That was some sort of joy for me.”
