Take Football As Career, Enyimba’s Captain Tells Gure Youths

Nigeria Super Eagles goalkeeper, John Noble, has advised youths in Gure community in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State to take football as a career.
He noted that the community has a lot of hidden talented footballers but the only way to excel was to take the game serious.
Noble, who is also the captain of Eyimba FC of Aba, gave the advice on Sunday during the opening ceremony of the ongoing Gure Community Football Tournament tagged “Tuabua FC Competition” at the Gure community Primary School field.
He expressed joy for the privilege given to him to be part of the football competition.
“ I want to thank Gure community for the privilege given to me to be part of this event. I have not forgotten Gure and Deeyor communities have mutual relationship in terms of football.
“Whenever we want to play Gure Community in a friendly match we used to prepare very well but at the end of the day they will still win us.
“ Gure Community have a lot of talented footballers, that is why today I am happy that one of their sons, Collins Sor, is now making us proud as he is  playing for Slavia Prague FC of Czech Republic.
“ I want to encourage Gure youths participating in this tournament today to put in their best because I believe  Gure can still produce one or two players from this competition to be like Sor” Noble said.
The Eyimba FC Captain used the forum to call on parents to allow their wards to participate in football activities, saying that football is a lucrative  business.
“ Whenever you have any football event, invite me, I will attend and support,” he stated.
Noble donated  goalkeeper hand gloves to give to  any goalkeeper who will emerge as the best goalkeeper of the competition.
