Everton, 09:27, August 28, 2008 ,
Striker Victor Anichebe has expressed his pride at winning a silver medal at the Beijing Olympics following his return to Everton.
The Nigerian international was part of his country's squad which made it all the way to the final of the football tournament in China, where they narrowly lost out 1-0 to the favourites Argentina.
Despite the disappointment of just missing out on gold, Anichebe feels it is still a big achievement to just come away with a medal to his name.
As he prepares for a possible return to David Moyes' plans for the Toffees clash with Portsmouth at Goodison Park on Saturday, he said: "I am so proud to win the medal.
"We were within touching distance of the gold but it's a huge achievement just getting a medal. It was an unbelievable achievement and a once in a lifetime opportunity."
