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!
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 ❤❤❤❤
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
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
@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!
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!!
This is the best and most comprehensive JayJay Okocha's video I've seen. It clearly highlights his skills and shows how good he really was with the ball.
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.
@@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.
@@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
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
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.
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.
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....
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 🙌
El Impresionante, Genial Y Hábil Jay Jay Okocha. De Los Mejores Y Más Grandes Jugadores Con Más Talento En Toda La Historia Del Fútbol. Este Africano, Nigeriano Y Jugador Espectacular Un Show : Regates, Dribblings, Clase, Calidad, Técnica, Velocidad Y Jugadas Fantásticas. Y Se Puede Decir Que Fue El Profesor De Ronaldinho Gaucho En El Psg De Aquellos Tiempos. Increíble Jay Jay Okocha, Mago.👍⚽💪
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
Jay Jay was good, really good. Ronaldinho while they were playing together at PSG once said, "Okocha is the real trickster, the real artist". But, he was wasteful in front of goal.
The best among the best from this part of the world. The government should please achieve the talent of his likes like Amokashi, Kanu, Rashid, Olise, Kechi, and so on. There is no reason why Nigeria should not be paying in FIFA world cup final every time.
It's a shame that because there were so many great players at that time he went a little unnoticed, but he was a great player and the Nigerian team at that time with so many names was to be feared.
I still can't understand after all these years why Sir Alex never signed him to replace King Eric. Especially as Jay Jay was a genuine star of that summer's World Cup.
That signature stud roll and stepover was so ridiculously overused, predictable....But insanely effective. I remember seeing James Milner do it for Newcastle in a UEFA cup game and practicing it till I was decent at it.

He wasn't celebrated because back home, we black people did value him style of football at that time.
Remember seeing a lot of Jay-Jay on Eurosport between PSG and AFCON. Magical player. Ronaldinho even learned a few of his tricks clearly.
He’s finally getting more recognition. One of the most skillful players ever. He mentored Ronaldinho at PSG.
some Psg players say
that Jay jay was more technical than ronnie...
No he didn’t.

And that was at the end of his career
He was better at Bolton Wanderers I loved it

One of THE Best players I've EVER seen in my life! was a pleasure to watch him in the Prem!
i think the main reason this man was so good is that his moves were so unpredictable

Even the ball.understand how magical it becomes when its handled by Jay Jay Okacha..
Absolute legend of the game. The football world will never forget Jay Jay Okocha. ‘So good they named him twice’.
This is the best and most comprehensive JayJay Okocha's video I've seen.

With no dogshit music
Facts 💯
@JayJay okocha. An era gone. Thank you for all the sweet memories. There will never be another JJ
The world has never witnessed such a talent. Jay Jay we love you. We miss you.
An incredible and super talented world class footballer, A generational talent.
Super eagles entertainer, when football was sweet to watch ♥️

Okocha is a legend from football tricks edits ❤
Dude was an amazingly underrated player‼️❤️🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥🙏🏽🗣️💯
You can say that again.
What a beautiful player... Playing as much for the team than for the fans.
3:04 actually one of the hardest strikes i've ever seen!
fantastic video!
And to think, this man played for Bolton under Big Sam. Legend.
Watching and copying skill is different, creating a skill move is different legend
So good they named him twice. Absolute baller!
One of the true greats.. I would quite happily have paid to watch him.
Nice. But only psg and Nigeria footage. You should have Eintracht, Fenerbahçe and Bolton too.
Imagine okocha playing alongside osimhen.. Nigeria would be destructive
That drag and step over trick was easily predictable but impossible to stop
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. 😊
He’s the inventor of that trademark dribble.
Man was and is a delight to watch
Jay Jay Okocha remains the world's greatest footballer ever!!!
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
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.
Kanu was a subtle genius with amazing technical ability. Real legend of the game.
He was so good, they named him twice
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.
Master of football JJ Okocha
He was such a joy to watch
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.
I remember that Cristiano used to do those dribbles of going one way and the other when he arrived at Manchester
Back when Football was fun to watch
I might be young but i really envy what the millennials had😢
Jay jay was just a magician playing football.
Jay Jay Okocha, une icône du football africain et mondial!!!
As ruas nunca o esqueceram, Jay Jay Okocha! 🔥

He's so calm while playing.. Absolute legend ❤
Okocha the Maradona of Nigeria
Fenerbahce legend
Thank YOu for this.
And thank you Jay Jay.
Kai Jay Jay was underrated. Thanks Jay Jay for playing football❤️
The legend does it again. Best football highlights account of YT

The streets will never forget him.
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
Top man jj okocha 😮
I watched eto, adebayor, Drogba, Kanu play and they were good but I bet, Jay Jay is the best the African continent ever produced from the 90s to date
Okocha is certainly a very skillful player.
this is number 10 in football
The greatest.
We were blessed to have him at Bolton and in his absolute prime
A real artful football trickster
He understands all the languages of football
Jay Jay was good, really good. Ronaldinho while they were playing together at PSG once said, "Okocha is the real trickster, the real artist". But, he was wasteful in front of goal.
Definitely a Monster!
Fantastic player.
Good job 👍 so all these things CR7 is doing now, OKOCHA don do the magic tey tey.
Thanks for this compilation.
My best ever player
Okocha conects with Ronaldinho 😍
1:51 wow! A master assisting a young master!
Having Okocha and Ronaldinho in the same team should be against the law😅
When JAY JAY OKOCHA kicks the ball even OLIVER KHAN'T catch it 😉😁
The best among the best from this part of the world. The government should please achieve the talent of his likes like Amokashi, Kanu, Rashid, Olise, Kechi, and so on. There is no reason why Nigeria should not be paying in FIFA world cup final every time.
Amazing footballer
Jay jay is the best playfootball
Okocha is extraordinary good. Highly talented foot baller.
Legend.Freting from Serbia
Jay Jay was so fast with his dribbles that before you know what is happening he has left you far behind.
His trademark step over is the most unique and special skill in world football! Nobody since then till now is doing that skill, NOBODY!!!!
One of the most elegant players to mention.
Questo si che è un gran bel video . Grazie 😊
The best indeed JJ Okocha 😊
It's a shame that because there were so many great players at that time he went a little unnoticed, but he was a great player and the Nigerian team at that time with so many names was to be feared.
he did the most riskiest things and made it work
perfect.
OKOCHA mérite ballon d'or mondiale
He was more brazilian than brazilians
No one again than okocha
Larger than life 😊
He played school boy footie his whole life...THATS success
Okocha était un exceptionnel
He played Fenerbahçe fo only 2 seasons but I'd call him a legend for sure
Legend❤❤😢
A king
Okocha's team mates really don't want him to have assists do they 😂
Exactly imagine missing all this goal with sweet passes 😂😂
I still can't understand after all these years why Sir Alex never signed him to replace King Eric. Especially as Jay Jay was a genuine star of that summer's World Cup.
his long shots tho... very powerful shots
Unbelievable how similar the Style of Okocha and Ronaldinho was. Football Artists
O pai desse cara deve ser Brasileiro
..muita abilidade
I see he does a ball role and a reverse step over very affective
time code 4:25 Ronaldinio and Okocha,probably the two most aesthetic players in history
Fact
That signature stud roll and stepover was so ridiculously overused, predictable....But insanely effective. I remember seeing James Milner do it for Newcastle in a UEFA cup game and practicing it till I was decent at it.
Seriously? James Milner?
@@kina24249 Yeah man, he was an exciting winger at Newcastle.
Dammmn this man was alone at the job in Nigeria
