Lille fans know how to treat their players.

Goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama turned 33 on Saturday and the Lille stopper's birthday was celebrated in full voice by 27,000 of his adoring fans. Durling Lille's victory over Gazelec Ajaccio at the weekend, the supporters broke into a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday" which was gratefully received by the Nigeria captain. It's oddly moving to see so many people care about one person's birthday and it motivated Enyeama to keep a clean sheet, his third of the season. We just hope that Yaya Toure doesn't see this because he'll kick right off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nndcntXNR2M H/t to RedditSoccer
