Newly promoted Premier League side, Wolverhampton Wanderers, joined forces with Nigerians to celebrate Super Eagles goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme, at 32.
Ikeme has spent his entire playing career with Wolves and featured 10 times for Nigeria before suffering from acute leukaemia last year.
As a result, he wasn’t part of last season’s success at the West Midlands and won’t play a part at the World Cup.
But nonetheless, Wolves fans and Nigerians united to honour the giant goaltender.
All at Wolves would like to wish the big man, @Carl_Ikeme, a very happy birthday. We hope you enjoy your day and can’t wait to see you again soon 👊🎁🐺 #TeamKemes pic.twitter.com/XKbiaefRks
