World soccer ruling body, FIFA, has honoured former Super Eagles captain, Vincent Enyeama for his exploits in the French Ligue 1.

The 33-year-old was celebrated for his heroic achievement of making the 100th Ligue 1 appearance for Lille Olympique Sporting Club.

“This is how goodness and mercy will follow you all this month of March. First day of the month, FIFA got me a trophy for hardwork, dedication, success,” he wrote under a photograph of himself with a plaque on his Instagram page.
