Former super Eagles goalkeeper has announced the death of his father mentor and coach Philip Enyeama.

The former Nigeria and Lille goalkeeper revealed this on his Instagram page as he blessed the period he shared with him.

According to Vincent Enyeama, He said, “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. You stood in for many, you fought for many to achieve their dreams.

“I am proud to have been fathered by you. It’s a series. Your number was called. Farewell. God rest your soul in peace.”

Following the information gathered by Shegzeblog, the former goalkeeper’s father, Coach Phillip Enyeama, passed away due to old age after a distinguished coaching career.
