Goalie Gives Eagles Xmas Baby

Home-based Super Eagles camp at the Bolton White Hotel bubbled into life on Saturday, December 24, just after the morning training session, when one of the invited goalkeepers, Godwin Paul, got a call from his wife that she has been delivered of a bouncing baby girl.

“It was a safe delivery, baby and mother are in good shape”, Paul told Head Coach, Steve Keshi, who subsequently asked his Assistant, Dan ‘the Bull’, to announce it to other players and officials in camp.

Speaking later on the safe delivery of his first child, the Enyimba of Aba, first choice, said he was delighted and overjoyed, that his wife brought forth the bundle of joy even when he was on national assignment. “Maybe, she will play for the Super Falcons in future”, he said amidst smiles.

Keshi, said the arrival of the baby is a good omen that the regeneration of the national team is on course and said there will be a special gift for the baby, when the team goes on a brief New Year break by December 30th.
