Former Nigeria defender, Joseph Yobo, has expressed happiness with everything he achieved as a footballer.

The 2013 African Nations Cup (AFCON) winner was given a grand exit from professional football by a stellar collection of football stars during his testimonial in Port Harcourt on Friday.

Samuel Eto’o, Sulley Muntari, Stephen Appiah, Lomana Lualua and Laryea Kingston were joined by former Nigeria players such as Nwankwo Kanu, Austin Okocha, Mutiu Adepoju, Austin Eguavoen and Ben Iroha to celebrate the ex-Everton defender.

Fielding questions from journalists, Yobo expressed his delight at the success of the event, claiming injuries hindered him from making a curtain call last year.

“It feels great. It is a big blessing to be in this position and I’m thankful to God,” Goal quoted the ex-Super Eagles captain as saying to journalists.

“It is very emotional but I’m very happy.  My family members are here to see me one more time and that makes me feel good.

“Injury had denied me from announcing my final retirement and this is the first time that I’m returning to the play after a year. I’m grateful to David Moyes, Samuel Eto’o and everyone that came to support – they made my day.”

When asked if he had any regret as a footballer, Yobo who made his senior international debut against Zambia in a 2002 AFCON qualifier, said he is satisfied with everything he has achieved, while expressing uncertainty on what the future holds after football.

“I’m very satisfied with my career,” he continued. “It takes only the grace of God to achieve what Joseph Yobo has done; three Africa Nations Cup and three World Cup appearances says it all.

“I don’t know how I made 101 caps for Nigeria, I’m thankful to God.

“Going forward, everything is possible and I’m taking it one step at a time,” he concluded.

The post I’m satisfied with my career – Yobo appeared first on The Nation Nigeria.
