    beckham, scholes, cantona made me love football and man utd, but okocha is the greatest dribbler I've seen growing up. i idolized him, and started to watch bolton matches and learned about their other great players like campo, juusi, nolan, davies.

    These type of midfielders are now the most in demand in football. Creative players that are confident and press resistant on the ball. Can dribble and drive the attack, never afraid of receiving the ball, could break organized midfields single-handedly, even if he sees 3 midfielders he will take on them and create space for his teammates. Pep Guardiola would have done wonders with him

    JJ OKOCHA remains one of the greatest football legends the world has ever seen. The International Football Body owes him a very big apology for not honoring him with an international award. He was denied honor simply because of racism. He was a Black man from Nigeria (Africa). players of his kind comes into the world once in a thousand years. Ever since JJ OKOCHA retired from professional football, My Country Nigeria has never been able to find a replacement for him in our Nigeria National team. Jay-Jay Okocha was one of the single largest reasons why Nigerians developed an addiction to watching Nigerian football back in the late 1990's till early 2000s.

      Because he was inconsistent, and for all his highlights he made just as many errors trying the spectacular instead of basic. If you compare him to Ronaldinho he took more risks, had poorer decision making and was much much less effective with his output. An the guy was pretty useless without the ball so to get the most out of him you had to compensate in other areas of the team, and why do that as a big club when you can sign players who will be more consistent, smart and hard working and have a similar output? For a club like Bolton with a hard physical identity outside of okocha, players to cover him and not much creativity, that is fine. For a big club that can get players as good as okocha that do more then no

    I am sure if there was a game today and Okocha was playing, you always know for sure you will be entertained. Football was so easy for him, he saw what many kids around him didn't see. But the most important is the timing, he know a defensive footballers reaction and he worked around it almost naturally. To a point it was almost out of this world. Imagine if he played for Brazil....? Imagine the connections, the assists?
    Bolton Wanderers...this was and is your legend.
