Thousands of football fans signing "Happy Birthday" in unison to Vincent Enyeama is a tad eerie at first, but quickly warms the heart.

The Lille netminder, however, appeared to welcome the chorus of birthday wishes from 27,000 of his supporters during his side's 1-0 victory over Ajaccio.

Enyeama, who turned 33 on Aug. 29, showed his appreciation with a round of applause for the loyal supporters who remembered his special day.

Let's just hope the team bought him a cake as well, since it's a sign of gratitude football players take very seriously. Just ask Yaya Toure.
