Okocha is all about tricks with a negligible number of end results. He is in the same bracket as present day Ben Arfa, Isco, Ndombele, Maxim of Newcastle and the rest.



He is only held in high regards by Nigerians out of sentiment.

Before you come to my mention and start countering with emotions, ask yourself......

As an attacking midfielder with almost non existent defensive responsibilities, how many goals or assists did he clock during his career? And how many high ranked clubs ever placed a bid for his services?
God bless you my brother. You are one of the very few Nigerians who appreciate the difference between productive football and useless playing to the gallery.

Okocha was average and below class when compared to much greater and better African footballers like Abedi, Kalusha Bwalya, Yeboah, Eto'o etc.

Africans and money consciousness, dribbling without sense with his funny kind of leg over okocha tried but he is just adverage that d truth. if you watch messi he dribble when the time arises, pass when the time arises, chip when he is in the right position go and watch messi in the days of xavi and inestia. This guy play football to perfection who could have taught they can scored 50 goals a season playing deep, he redefine football as a player you can't hate messi and love football he deserve the money he is getting. The painful thing is that there is no player coming up who operate deep and still create chances and still dribble and score magnifecent goals I taught salah was like messi until I watch closely and find out they can never be messi them never born that persoooon!. As for ronaldo mbappe plays similar but I doubt if he close to ronaldo work rate and free kicks
Slave dunce typing the usual slave rubbish and self hate..

Only a thick skull, self hating Nigerian dunce like you would say Okocha ''dribbles without sense, with funny kind of leg-over'', while praising to heavens every other skilful striker on Earth. Stupid dumb slave. Worthless.

You are a conditioned DUNCE and AIR HEAD programmed to self hate.

Go on Youtube comments and see what the rest of the world have to say about Okocha. Nothing like what YOU are saying.

Your self hating belief is worthless cos you are a programmed self hater with inferiority complex and no working brain.

The only thing that could make you respect Okocha was if he was a highly feted Brazilian or French/Argentinian, Portuguese. Then your mumu head will be praising him to high heavens and drooling all over him. But he's Nigerian, so he can never be good enough in your programmed to self-hate blockhead.

You are talking rubbish. How many of his games for Fenebahce, Eintracht Frankfurt, and PSG did you actually watch?

Most of you have NEVER watched his club games in full, apart from when he was at Bolton, so SHUT UP, because you don't know him. Those who watched him know he played fantastic in his club career, while you self loathing, low self esteem cretins here engage in ignorant negative hearsay in line with your wretched inferiority complex.

Either you are a Small Boy or a Football Novice!!
How can you compare Tony yeboah, kalusha bwalya, Abedi Pele to Jayjay Okocha?
Doz pple didnot even play one FIFA world cup?

As for Eto'o, in Joseph Yobo's Testimonial, Okocha dribbled almost everyone in the pitch that Eto'o begged n Dragged him out to be substituted!! smiley cool

Pls Respect Okocha!!
After Drogba and Eto'o, He is the most Popular African player!!

The so-called CAF player of the year, he would have won it in 1998..
But we missed the Afcon dat year!

Don't mind them. This behavior by Nigerian youth really saddens me.

See full grown men that refuse to apply their sense of reasoning because they want to support their compatriot. I will question the sanity of anyone that says Okocha is Zidane's equal let alone better than Zidane.
Our own JJ was a great footballer no doubt, but there are levels, and he never reached that exclusive class of exceptional talents. It's not something we should be embarrassed about.

He went to three nations cup tournaments while in the prime of his career, but couldn't help his team get over the hump.
He wasn't very efficient, in terms of setting up and scoring goals at a decent clip while at PSG, that's why he was shipped off after only a couple years, and Ronaldinho that took over his duties i am sure we all saw the difference.
Abi all these ones wan talk say Okocha pass Ronaldinho?

We love our Okocha. But please Nigerian fans stop talking lies in the name of supporting your own.
Football Novice or Indomie generation Fan Spotted!! huh

FYI, Zidane's Goalscoring records is very Poor!!
He didn't score up to 60goals in his 5 years in R.madrid..He scored more for France's national team..

And Okocha is definitely@Par with Zidane!! Okocha could dribble, score freekicks, score from Long range, etc..
Everything Zidane did!! undecided
So What's your point again?

As for Ronaldihno, He played NOTHING@ Psg!!It was Japan/Korea 2002 world cup dat Made him!

Pls Respect Okocha, Ok? N stop feeding on Hearsays! undecided smiley

Why was he not one of the highest paid players during his time?

Why was he not playing for one of the top clubs?
You'll have to ask ''the top clubs''. Your problem is that you see their actions and behaviours as infallible and beyond reproach, so if they didn't hire Jay Jay, it was because something was wrong with Jay Jay, not with them.


He never played in any champions league matches
Neither did Maradona or Pele or Cruyff or Beckenbauer or Alfredo di Stefano or Ruud Gullit or George Best or Amunike or Bebeto or Adokie or Emmanuel Okala or Odegbami or Gascoigne,.....oh never mind.

Indomie generation.

What was Lampard's record at West Ham and as a central midfielders, how many chances did he create. Most of his goals were against low level teams. He was an average player too

what other "conscious" should he have? Is to just be thrilling fans alone? Rashid Yekini thrilled fans, yet went "broke" later in life. While thrilling fans, charge for your services. You can't just make people happy and then become broke....
Was yekini playing for free to thrill fans?

Remembered how this guy and rufai spoilt our game against Denmark, he was so useless as an attacking midfielder in that game. He only started playing reasonable and rewarding football at bolton

Goan check Zidane's Goalscoring records for his club sides..(Bordeuax, Juve and R.Madrid)
Check Luis Figo..
Check David Beckham..

It is small boys (Indomie generation fans) dat use Goals to rate Footballers! undecided
If it's speed, Zidane was also Slow!! Roberto Baggio wasn't dat fast!
So, you are calling FIFA small boys because that is what they have been using to rate attacking footballers all these years. It is for this same reason Samuel Eto won the Africa footballer of the year instead of J J Okocha.

I agree to some of analysis but Okocha still remain one of the best dribbler just that we Africans don't celebrate our own look at how England hyped their players.

When you add bonuses and other incentives his salary is about 35mil a year after tax so yes he will be earning 1mil per week
35 mil still does not aggregate 1mil per week. A year is made up of 52 weeks. I'll be grateful to GOD to get a week pay of his though.

It is obvious you do t know much about football.!
Players like Rabah Marker, Abedi Pele, Titi Camara were way better than Okocha. Go and ask if you don't know.
Football is not just about useless dribbling without productive results;, it is more about the ability to carry a team on your shoulders and make the difference when it matters most. That is what makes a great player and Okocha lacked those qualities. He only likes to play to the gallery to be hyped. He lacks speed , was a selfish; and not a good team player and his goal scoring was nothing to write home about !
Even in France, PSG fabs would tell you that Abedi was 10 times better than Okocha
