You missed understood brother!! What the other guy want to say is, jay jay was far better than being labelled as a streed footballer @@davidogundipe808
You've made me and every nigerian that watches your video really happy abd proud today. Thank you so much for telling the story of our very own legend ❤ 🇳🇬
I watched the video with a smile on my face from start to finish. In the end, Jay Jay is the kind of player we all dreamed of becoming as kids-bold and fearless. I'm in tears; Okocha, Ronaldinho, Taarabt, and Bolasie mean so much to me. They embody the true essence of football-pure passion and magic.
I love that you mentioned Bolasie! I have met him, I was taken on a tour of the Crystal Palace training ground, I was talking away and I look up and see the legend himself approached and he gave a great big beaming smile and gave me a thumbs up. I don't think he was quite used to seeing people so star struck! 😂 Players like him are a rare commodity nowadays, sadly. You said it yourself pure magic!
I met JJ Okocha irl, and actually got to play with him. He was insane on the pitch, the skill he had in his dribbling was just.. wow. Really enjoyed meeting him on that day.
Truly there will never be another Okocha, my parents always used to praise how good he was to the point I didn't believe it. But when I saw it with my own eyes I knew Okocha was truly one of a kind.
Please do a documentary on guy roux who took auxerre fc from Sunday league level to ligue 1champions managing the club for over 40 years a world record he's a very underrated legend
01:00. Non Nigerians always argue this. Okocha was exactly like this since the early 90s. He did it so much he sometimes affected the national team negatively by being a selfish midfielder. Ronaldinho's era was early 2000 so go figure. Also, do you know Ronaldo phenomenon took his famous step-over from him whe nigeria played Brazil in the Olympics in 96. Nigeria won the match 4-3 by the way
Jay Jay Okocha sir is a legendary Nigerian football whom I adored as one of my favourite ever players at the respective footballing clubs he played in during my childhood days and long live to him,good friends!!!👍
Okocha was on of THE heros on 1990s school yards in Germany and people tried mimicking his tricks - with varying results. He seemed out of this world. Also: the stadium at the beginning of the video, in which Jayjay debuted in Europe, is the Ellenfeld Stadium in Neunkirchen and did not changed since, like, at all, other than a new lawn after just 60 years in 2023.
I remember as a kid watching that fa cup game against villa on a little TV I had in my room. Just being so mesmerized by his skills and flair for the game he had . When that free kick went in I jumped up and danced around in pure celebration and awe . True legend of the sport and one of the greatest ever.
Still remember scouting him in one of the old CM games, and sure, you had a lot of broken players and a broken match enging back then, but Okocha could singlehandedly take ANY club into CL winners...crazy good.
growing up in Australia during the 90s, every school I went to had a large number of African students. I used to play football with them during recess/lunch and when I would ask who their favourite player was, regardless of their nationality, nearly all of them said Jay-Jay Okocha. But really, you don't have to be African to recognise the man was a magician.
If Okocha was form Brazil, Argentina, Spain or Italy he would have been an instant megastar. Only coming from Nigeria stopped the very best clubs from allowing him to ply his amazing trade... the guy simply enjoyed the joy of manipulating a football as much as anyone in history : )
@@Alezandr dude he wasn't the kind of player to give you numbers, he was the type to completely outclass the opposition midfield and have them chasing shadows while his team dominated because of HIM. Nobody expected "top club" numbers from Xavi or Pirlo or even Zidane...but their presence and impact on games were immense. I don't believe any of them was a better footballer than Okocha.
When I was a kid Okocha was my favorite player. Him and Laurent Robert. I used to love watching those two play because you never knew what was going to happen. Then I found out they used to play together at PSG along with Anelka, Ronaldinho, Hugo Leal, Stephane Dalmat and Arteta. They had the most baller team in Europe at that time.
Okocha was such a good player, I loved the Nigeria team from the late 90's/early 2000's, such a fun team to watch, that game at France 98 Nigeria vs Spain was my favourite game from that tournament, Okocha was my 2nd favourite Nigerian player, im an Arsenal fan so Kanu is 1st
Jay Jay is one of the biggest reasons why I always feel oddly nostalgic when it comes to football and its evolution. Such a sublime treat to watch replays of him, it makes me wish I was alive and conscious when he was at his full prime.
Don’t forget football academies as well. They coach tactics to football players at 8 years and make daily schedules for them instead of letting them be creative and play street football
I'd rather watch baseball than watch a Pep team play. It's so boring. If a Man City game has a high score I'll watch highlights, but 90+ minutes of Pep tactics makes me sick.
What a player he was. I used to tune in to match of the day just to watch players like him work there magic. Still one of my favourite ever players for a reason.
That say we beat Brazil at the Olympics, u could literally hear the earth shake due to the jubilation that early morning, midnight turned to afternoon, no one was a stranger to each other, drinks flowed, infact, the next day was like Christmas day, we even celebrated that win more than the final win, that team was by far, one of the best Nigerian teams of all age grade ever produced
I remember seeing Jay Jay do a rainbow in the middle of a match; that was the first time I had seen someone do that in a match. My head almost exploded. And he did that in the PREMIER LEAGUE against PREMIER LEAGUE players. Insane talent!
Oh yeah, finally ! You're covering the best player of all times ! 😊 And yes, he is more entertaining than anyone not named Ronaldinho. And that is what we should value, because you know... this is entertainment.
Please make a video for Dida one of the most underrated goalkeeper of all time i think he is top five of all time alot of people don't know him and it is the (16th) video in a row i am commenting this
Jay Jay and Anthony Yeboah at Eintracht Frankfurt was a phenomenal duo...and Maurizio Gaudino was a incredible technical footballer. Unfortunately Frankfurt never had a defense to match this offense line.
We Italians were scared as hell before the match with Nigeria, their goals were all 100KM/h missiles, we got lucky we had Baggio... Great respect for that team!
I rememberr Jay Jay Ohacha, 'so good they named him twice' lol. I always wondered why he never played for Man U or some other club like Real or Barcelona. He was absolute class and amazing to watch.
I was a little kid. But the 1996 team was a glimmer of hope during the asinine 'dictatorship'. We needed the escape the super eagles gave us. Beating Brazil was amazing! Winning was incredible.
“So listen to this” wise words from a wise man
I always like that intro
Thank you for this beautiful documentary, honoring our greatest ever player from Nigeria.. blessings and light, peace and love from Nigeria Africa ❤ 🙏
Àṣẹ!
In the streets of Nigeria, Jay Jay Okocha was always emulated, and widely beloved.
"Streets"? BAHAHAHAHAHA
@SicketMog have a problem with me?
are you dumb? @@SicketMog
You missed understood brother!! What the other guy want to say is, jay jay was far better than being labelled as a streed footballer @@davidogundipe808
@@davidogundipe808 Nah not really but it's funny that you insinuate that nigerians have streets.
Im Nigerian and okocha is one of my biggest inspirations in football thanks for this video
Anybody who can give the great Oliver Kahn PTSD is a football hero
Lol what ?!? The last video I searched on this channel was Oliver Kahn. What a coincidence. 😊

Taarabt, now that was a good player. I remember him tearing the Championship up with QPR in 2010/11.
I'll give you one more: Mágico González. Even Maradona said Gonzalez was better than himself.
I love that you mentioned Bolasie!

That's one to tell the grandkids
@@msdm83 haha, fr.
I even got his signature.
@@zaneplayz6328 i remember when i was a kids i always pick Okocha as my main squad when playing Winning Eleven.

My hero and inspiration ❤🇳🇬⚽
Finally, a Jay Jay Okocha video I have been waiting for, proudly Nigerian!
Please do a documentary on guy roux who took auxerre fc from Sunday league level to ligue 1champions managing the club for over 40 years a world record he's a very underrated legend
Maybe you should #suggestion
Yeah I have heard about the Coach
Amazing stuff carrying a team from scratch 😮

man was so good they had to name him twice
Nah the yt emojis man
Jay jay is a name the streets will never forget
Jay Jay was so fun to watch. Even old highlights were exhilarating!

thanks man!
Your video essays are so good man 👌🏼
I WAS JUST GONNA GO WATCH OKOCHA COMPILATIONS AND U UPLOADED!! OH MY DAYS😂

I'm surprised he didn't win African Ballon D'or like Kanu or Eto'o
Absolute nonsense, George Weah from Liberia played for AC Milan, there’s a reason he was playing for Bolton.
But apart from that, wonderful video bro. I grew up as a Bolton fan who was lucky enough to see Okocha on the pitch! #COYW!
"So...listen to this"
I listened, i learned, i appreciated.
I love jay jay okocha as a Nigerian
Àṣẹ!
You just have to love Jay Jay.
I've never understood to this day why the top 4 teams at the time never bought him.
According to him it was a salary thing. He felt the big clubs that wanted him didn't give him the money he deserved
because he was not actually that good
His output just wasn't great. Look at his scorers outside from Fenerbahce. Not top club material.
@@Alezandrhe wasn't a striker but a Midfielder so scoring goals wasnt really his job
@@Alezandr dude he wasn't the kind of player to give you numbers, he was the type to completely outclass the opposition midfield and have them chasing shadows while his team dominated because of HIM.

There will never be another Jay Jay Okocha!
Your videos always entertains us.
There's only one Jay jay .. the best there ever will be
The greatest in my opinion player from the motherland 🇰🇪🇬🇧 big up 🇳🇬
He was a different kind of goat.🐐
Jay Jay is one of the biggest reasons why I always feel oddly nostalgic when it comes to football and its evolution. Such a sublime treat to watch replays of him, it makes me wish I was alive and conscious when he was at his full prime.
The music 🎶 when the vid starts its top notch😂🙌🏾
i love the edits u start with now
Watching this video gave me a lot of joy and happiness, there will never be another jay jay. Thank you for this video ❤
they don't make footballers like this no more, flair play has been destroyed by pep
Don’t forget football academies as well. They coach tactics to football players at 8 years and make daily schedules for them instead of letting them be creative and play street football
I'd rather watch baseball than watch a Pep team play. It's so boring.
If a Man City game has a high score I'll watch highlights, but 90+ minutes of Pep tactics makes me sick.
WHAT A PLAYER.🔥.
The intro was really good
I have more respect for this channel now, because it's mentioning footballers from my own country❤😊😊😊
I was waiting for this ❤
So good they named him twice. Jay Jay was always a delight to watch!
Jay Jay, what a player. Absolute joy to watch !
I've been waiting for this for a very long time thank you so much
I absolutely loved watching Jay Jay Okocha play. The man was poetry in motion and had a bazooka in his boot to boot.
plz stick to the Nigerian theme and do a vid on Oshimen
I just think his story from selling bottle water to playing for napoli is inspirational
SO GOOD THEY NAMED HIM TWICE
What a player he was. I used to tune in to match of the day just to watch players like him work there magic. Still one of my favourite ever players for a reason.
Bro needs to do a video on Sam Aladyche
As a Nigerian, I sincerely thank you for this 🇳🇬❤️

Well this is the guy whom Ronaldinho admired as a teacher, enough said.
Africa's most skilful player ever and the top 5 most skilful players in the world.
I remember seeing Jay Jay do a rainbow in the middle of a match; that was the first time I had seen someone do that in a match. My head almost exploded. And he did that in the PREMIER LEAGUE against PREMIER LEAGUE players. Insane talent!
He plays like me in my dreams but even better.
Oh yeah, finally ! You're covering the best player of all times ! 😊
And yes, he is more entertaining than anyone not named Ronaldinho. And that is what we should value, because you know... this is entertainment.
The man so good they named him twice JAY JAY OKOCHA
Hope we see a video soon on Amad Diallo's crazy life story.
I played for the youth club of Eintracht Frankfurt when Okocha was our star. As a Fenerbahçe fan I was so happy he played for us also🥰
My favorite daily dose of football vid of all time
Day 8 of asking Daily Dose to make a video on the forgotten ballon d'or winner Matthias Sammer
Back in the day, we used to say that he is so good that his parents named him twice!
literally i searched him up this morning. good timing
I loved those underdog Bolton teams under Big Sam. As a Romanian, Okocha was a special special talent
Intro respect, that mhh before the listen to this colder than Palmer.
Thanks For Giving Us Are Nigerian Icon Jay Jay Okocha
Stat marchents will never know how good he was. He made all smile and gasp when he played. Pure geneous ❤
Please make a video for Dida one of the most underrated goalkeeper of all time i think he is top five of all time alot of people don't know him and it is the (16th) video in a row i am commenting this
What a goat🐐🐐
Really loved Jay-Jay... wish he'd joined a bigger club to showcase his skills on an even bigger stage
Jay Jay and Anthony Yeboah at Eintracht Frankfurt was a phenomenal duo...and Maurizio Gaudino was a incredible technical footballer. Unfortunately Frankfurt never had a defense to match this offense line.
Jay jay so good they named him twice 🔥🤏🏾
Can you please make a video on Ricardo kaka , he is one of my favourite playera
We Italians were scared as hell before the match with Nigeria, their goals were all 100KM/h missiles, we got lucky we had Baggio... Great respect for that team!
when skills meet swagger ...okocha 🔥
I rememberr Jay Jay Ohacha, 'so good they named him twice' lol. I always wondered why he never played for Man U or some other club like Real or Barcelona. He was absolute class and amazing to watch.
"Ronaldinho is the Brazilian Okocha"
Every german knewed him since 1994. His goal in the Bundesliga vs Kahn was one of the best goals ever
Next video on lewandowski please
Was literally watching a comp of his yesterday and now this video showed up in my recommended 😂
I appreciate this video
THIS MY GOAT
I was a little kid. But the 1996 team was a glimmer of hope during the asinine 'dictatorship'. We needed the escape the super eagles gave us. Beating Brazil was amazing! Winning was incredible.
For me he s be the best player in the world because just imagine if he play in a big club
Actual best player, not for stupid statistics but technique and entertainment wise; that which truly matters.
We really need to talk about Milton Queiroz De paixiao, Very underrated in my opinion.
That rainbowflick💫
Please make a video on Mats Hummels
it was time someone recognized Jay Jay
