Legendary Eagles keeper gets high plaudits from Cole

Date:

Former Chelsea attacker, Joe Cole has admitted that legendary Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama is highly rated in his opinion than Pepe Reina and Petr Cech.

Cole, 37, has played with the trio at one time or the other in his glittering career.
The skillful Cole featured for Chelsea alongside Cech during a successful spell under the watchful eyes of Jose Mourinho.
He also had the luxury of playing with Villarreal star Reina at Liverpool.
At the twilight of his professional career, he defended the colours of Lille alongside Vinny.
He hailed the shot-stopper’s ability ahead of the more international recognised goalkeepers despite playing just one season with Vinny at Lille when he was sent on loan to France by Liverpool.
“I could’ve gone with Petr Cech, David Seaman, Pepe Reina but if we’re talking five-a-side, this guy ( Enyeama) is the best shot-stopper,” Cole told TalkSport in reference to Vinny’s five-a-aside heroics.
“You knew if this geezer was in your team in a five-a-side, you’re winning.”
