John Noble, the Enyimba and Super Eagles goalkeeper, has admitted being depressed because of a whooping $25,000 being owed him by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

While speaking on whether the stories making the round about his depression were true agreed that the story was from him, regretting that he felt bad after realising that the current U17 players in camp have all been paid their entitlements.

“I called and was told that the U17 players have been paid their entitlements and I wonder why they have refused to pay me.

“I am a family man with wife and t he pressure is so much on me. I have a lot of responsibilities to take care of.

“You know in Nigerian League, you can play for up to four or five months without your pay, so it is a lot of pressure on me,” he said.
