Why Enyeama is the greatest Nigerian to play in the Caf Champions League – Olatunji-Okuku

Although few Nigerians have won the competition more than once, the seasoned football administrator opted for the former Super Eagles goalkeeper

Former Super Eagles star Vincent Enyeama is the greatest Nigerian ever to play in the Caf Champions League, according to Samuel Olatunji-Okuku.

After joining the Aba giants from Ibom Stars in 2001, the goalkeeper became a key figure in Kadiri Ikhana’s Enyimba team that ruled Africa in 2003 - a feat which ended Nigeria’s wait to win the African title.

His best performance came in the second leg of the final against Ismaily as he made crucial saves to deny Theo Bucker's El Daraweesh.
