Vincent Enyeama; getting better with age.

   Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, has again been voted French Ligue One footballer of the month for November. The Lille shot stopper who did not concede a goal in top flight football in the French league in November, won the award ahead of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thauvin. Enyeama. He did not concede a single goal in 1062 minutes of football in the French top flight. He equally scooped the award for the previous month of October. 
   The 31 year old Nigerian international and Super Eagles vice captain have been on a high. The player is expected to lead the Super Eagles of Nigeria to the World Cup in Brazil next year. Nigerian coach Stephen Keshi will definitely see this as a morale booster knowing that his number one goalkeeper is in top form at the moment and will be praying his steller form continues. 
   Since taking over the number one spot in the Lille line up, the former Enyimba and Maccabi goal tender have not looked back. Churning out eye catching displays week in week out. Enyeama at 31,joins the league of goalkeepers who defied age to be on top form. Edwin Van da Saar, David Seaman and Andoni Zubizaretta showed the world what they could do despite their ages, and today, Enyeama, Gigi Buffon, Petr Cech, Pepe Reina etc are still on top of their games.
