While the aforementioned trio have received a shout from the IFFHS, the history and records of association football organisation has decided that the 101-capped Nigerian is the best to ever do it in the CAF region.
According to Vanguard, the body's decision was reached on the basis of Enyeama's outstanding performances at domestic and international level in his almost 15-year playing career.
The former Super Eagles captain has a long list of individual and team accolades, including winning the 2013 AFCON in South Africa, as well as two CAF Champions League titles with Enyimba Aba.
The 40-year-old also enjoyed success in Europe, having been named the best goalkeeper in the Israeli Premier League three times and the French Ligue 1's 2013/14 goalie of the season.
In addition to representing Nigeria at three FIFA World Cup tournaments, Enyeama made a big name for himself in the France's topflight, where he set a club-record of 11 consecutive clean sheets for Lille and won the 2014 Prix Marc-Vivien Foe, an award given to the best African player in Ligue 1.
