Once upon a time we witnessed as England go in search of a goal against the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Paul Scholes receives the ball in Nigerias half as Michael Owen makes a decoy run. The Manchester United midfielder lets fly from 25 yards. Vincent Enyeama, in goal for Nigeria, dives full length to make a stunning save to tip the ball into the crossbar and out for a corner kick. That save by the young goalkeeper, made the highlight reel of the 2002 Japan/Korea Fifa World Cup. A star was born, a star that will be making his third appearance at the Fifa World Cup when he files out with Nigeria in Brazil. Vincent Enyeama has come a long way from that save in 2002. The man, who is tipped to start for Nigeria when the World Cup kicks off in Brazil has come full circle from his days at Ibom Stars in Nigeria to being a hero at Ligue 1 side Lille Metropole. Thrown into the deep end by Festus Onigbinde after Ike Shorunmu.
