Jay-Jay Okocha Was an Absolute Monster

[@danielsan2142]

A real magician playing football! Provided with extraordinary technical quality and immense ability to improvise, Okocha was one of the greatest talents I've ever seen! True baller, living legend!

[@pachigojohn]

Okocha not a legend

[@DidYaServe]

Remember seeing a lot of Jay-Jay on Eurosport between PSG and AFCON. Magical player. Ronaldinho even learned a few of his tricks clearly.

[@IzzyMann]

One of THE Best players I've EVER seen in my life! was a pleasure to watch him in the Prem!

[@bradd2k2]

The early 2000s waking up with a bowl of cereal playing fifa at 8am waiting for soccer am to start waiting for this guy to show up every week. What a time to be alive take me back

[@StephenB-c9b]

I watched him as a Hull City fan, his control and touch was amazing and he’d occasionally pull out a trick or two which was worth the ticket price alone! Thanks Jay-jay

[@Ben2bwild]

And that was at the end of his career

[@cameronfinch938]

He was better at Bolton Wanderers I loved it

[@johnsonolalekan7853]

Okocha wasn't celebrated enough, even back home here in Nigeria.What was an amazing player he was ❤❤ goat. Indeed, he created somany dribbling style that they all use now, but just because he wasn't from Europe, they refused to give him all these credits, etc....love you, JayJay ❤❤❤❤

[@josephode4651]

He wasn't celebrated because back home, we black people did value him style of football at that time.

[@bola5671]

Yeah I'm not sure what you're talking about. I didn't watch excessively when I was in Nigeria but I heard his name everywhere. I grew up in his hometown and everyone loved Jay Jay .

[@mosesaiyidu6259]

Even the ball.understand how magical it becomes when its handled by Jay Jay Okacha..

[@relentero8547]

He’s finally getting more recognition. One of the most skillful players ever. He mentored Ronaldinho at PSG.

@JayJay okocha. An era gone. Thank you for all the sweet memories. There will never be another JJ

[@african-history-fountain]

Absolute legend of the game. The football world will never forget Jay Jay Okocha. ‘So good they named him twice’.

[@duckleaf69]

i think the main reason this man was so good is that his moves were so unpredictable

[@MrRizzyWizzy]

@duckleaf69 Isn't that the point? I played up until I was hurt in college, and my best goal ever was one I didn't even touch. I was playing indoor, and stood right in front of the goalkeeper calling for the ball. The guy passed it to me from behind the 2-point line, and right before the ball got to me, i pretended to take it to my left, so I could go around the keeper, but I just let the ball keep going the way it was passed, and the keeper went with me. So the guy passing to me scored a 2 pointer. After the game, the keeper came up to me and said that was one of the best fakes he has ever fallen for!

[@Prof_Alexander_Blanco]

Este tipo debería tener un monumento en África. No creo que haya otro hasta el momento con las genialidades de Okocha. Wow!!! Mis respetos. Tutor de Ronaldinho!!

[@ifeanyingene4472]

[@LIUBCHENKO]

Okocha is a legend from football tricks edits ❤

[@Amar-ut3of]

What a beautiful player... Playing as much for the team than for the fans.

[@eureka0107]

Okocha was not only a joy to watch, but I also think he perfectly embodies the kind of playmaker that could only arise in a bygone era of football. As brilliant as he was, nowadays between positional play, gegen pressing and lowest as low gets block defending he would told he is too unathletic, or too slow, or doesn't have enough end product or doesn't track back enough, and he would either see very little game time as a starter or he would be forced to become just another boring cog in a machine. I like some of the aspects of modern football, but I also lament the chronic lack of spontaneity that ball players like Okocha used to bring. I hope this old man hasn't bored you with his whining.

[@lewd9]

That’s a great comment and totally agree

[@worlddd7777]

Football is really in sad state right now

@@leobeenplakker6505 Yes it is, all stadiums look the same, all teams look the same, all play is exactly the same, atmospheres are horrible, everything is about tactics and running, same generic players. Its not sad its just horrible, if u are younger i understand, because u simply dont know better.

[@bradd2k2]

@@worlddd7777agree I find football hard to watch at times now, and when pep was at Barca I must admit they played some of the best football I’ve ever seen but it also bored me to death the same as arsenal, nowadays the ball hardly goes out of play, players got to wait to celebrate because of VAR I don’t know if it’s because I’m old but I think we shouldn’t of changed what didn’t need to be fixed var should only be used for goal line tech rest should be the refs, damn I miss the old days

[@ankith4759]

Watching and copying skill is different, creating a skill move is different legend

[@izzihusenne2186]

One of the true greats.. I would quite happily have paid to watch him.

[@aran7teen]

And to think, this man played for Bolton under Big Sam. Legend.

[@sandyjoshua6123]

Imagine okocha playing alongside osimhen.. Nigeria would be destructive

[@ollieduracell]

So good they named him twice. Absolute baller!

[@andyevangel7138]

Pa Jay was magical to watch. He was un-sung in his playing days. He's only now getting the recognition and plaudits he truly deserves. Not all geniuses win Nobel prizes. Not all gifted footballers win Ballon D'or but Okocha will go down a legend of the game.

[@hakan3217]

Nice. But only psg and Nigeria footage. You should have Eintracht, Fenerbahçe and Bolton too.

[@9and7]

Thank YOu for this. And thank you Jay Jay.

I don’t get why his playing time at Bolton wasn’t added… He did some amazing stuff there I think more so than his playing time with PSG.

[@AceIkedigwe]

I might be young but i really envy what the millennials had😢

[@maniacodepresiv0]

I remember that Cristiano used to do those dribbles of going one way and the other when he arrived at Manchester

[@Lmehddy]

You can see how Ronaldinho didn't even bother trying to take the ball off Okocha, he is smart enough to know how good he was and doesn't want to be embarrassed lol

[@Unknwnymous]

He's so calm while playing.. Absolute legend ❤

[@Mohagnito94]

Monster is the perfect description of Jay Jay Okocha. As a Kenyan, Nigeria really has had the best African players in the EPL. Another I really like is Kanu

[@gonufc]

Ooh, that's a tough one, Yaya and Drogba (and Kolo) for Ivory Coast, Essien and Yeboah for Ghana. But another one for Nigeria: Yakubu! As a Newcastle supporter I'm hoping Yankuba Minteh can be the next star.

[@african-history-fountain]

Kanu was a subtle genius with amazing technical ability. Real legend of the game.

[@Chilavertish]

That drag and step over trick was easily predictable but impossible to stop

[@african-history-fountain]

Exactly. The defender KNOWS Jay Jay is gonna do his step over. But he still can’t stop him! It’s the most incredible skill. 😊

[@randiznannz-pc3yt]

He’s the inventor of that trademark dribble.

As ruas nunca o esqueceram, Jay Jay Okocha! 🔥

[@femiayo2089]

Then football was fun.. No player has the heart to do all these again.. Or let's say "Football" isn't selling skill anymore.. Even at 3-0 down against Brazil, you can see OKOCHA still showing the skills, dazzles etc... You dare not do that when you are down... Era of skills in football now is gone.. What we have left is Pace, strength, goal scoring ability....

[@NKUKINHOCHELSEA]

Exactly if you could remember well the entire Brazilian team if not all was asking themselves who is this guy again back then some Brazilian fan was saying can they sign him because he has Brazilian root of football knowledge 😂😂 shout out to you though 🙌
