okocha is not on etoo level,ferdinard should STFU
Okocha is one of if not outright the most talented player Africa has ever produced. Unfortunately, his choices of clubs made him underutilised, and as such, underrecognised.

some of you just rant for emptiness sake.
how could he have won FIFA world footballer of the year.

Did he win the champions league?
Did he win the world cup?

what is that exceptional thing he did to deserve that?

Even in Africa after 1994 where did his talent made us get to both in Africa and in the world stage?

don't come here and be shouting Atlanta diz Atlanta that for me.

Oga, read my post and comprehend it. I said "play maker" not Player of the Year. It means he didn't so deserve it, just like you said.

Okocha is not just the best African player, he is one of the best players ever.
Okocha in his time made football looks so easy and sweet to behold. He's such a natural talent, hardworking, humble and hardly get annoyed in the pitch.
Pa Jay, Respect!
But the guy too stingy undecided

He's in Nigeria, what else did you expect him to say, watch him go to South Africa and say the same about Lucas Radebe

Do not blame okocha if we did not reach anywhere in 1994 Africa nations cup. The Messi and C. Ronaldo where have they taken their country to?
Okocha was pure talent but the choice of club and and some poor decisions left him under-utilize. He is undeniably unique and in his best form he could demolish any defender and make outstanding effect in a game. His style of play was very beautiful and creative. I understand you are trying to say he wasn't productive which I agree with you but I disagree if you mean he wasn't exceptional.
