Victor Ezeji speaks on his career regret

In a chat with Legit.ng, the 43-year-old took time to reminisce about his playing career and identified the moment when he missed out on a transfer to Danish club, Viborg FF, as one of the biggest regret of his career.

“For me, I don’t think I have much of a career regret, aside from the only time I went to Denmark and signed for Viborg FF, and Enyimba refused to release me. I think that would have been the turning point in my career in 2003.”

Speaking further on the events that played out, he stated:

“Enyimba gave reasons that they were currently competing in the CAF Champions League and that all attackers were injured, and I was the only available attacker. This was despite the club surpassing the valuation stated by Enyimba.”

According to data from Vanguard, Ezeji is the most decorated player in Nigerian football. His accolades include the CAF Champions League and NPFL titles with Enyimba, as well as NPFL and FA Cup victories during his time with Dolphins.
