Lille faithful were left in shock at the news that long-serving goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, would depart the club on Friday.
Enyeama, 36, has been with the Northern French side since 2011, joining from Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel.
In that time, the ex-Super Eagles showed exceptional qualities both on and off the pitch.
Enyeama garnered almost 120 league appearances and proved to be one of the most-respected custodians in Ligue 1.
Despite not starting for the first team in over a year, the fans were still full of praises for the Nigerian.
Here’s how few reacted on Twitter.
