...watch in Administration?

The most under+rated footballer in the world..... .

Salute to a talented footballer.

If he came from a functioning country he would have been much internationally celebrated.

JayJay my man

my all time favorite nigerian footballer. affable guy too

Nice...swag

But Mikel has achieved more than him and has more money

DropShot:
The most talented football to have come from Africa.

Unfortunately, he underachieved.

Its probably due to his level of education. Football was frankly speaking , an esaape root from desperate poverty.

what do you mean by underachieved..jay jay in his playing days in bundesliga was one of the finnest.. scoring goals for fun particularly the best goal in the history of german football whr he dribbled 5 players including the great oliver kahn who till today feels embarassed cos of the goal..in psg he was adored n taught great players like ronaldinho..Underachieved? someone with over 100appearances for super eagles, appearing in 3world cup..won bbc african footballer twice, won an olympic medal with nigeria, also won nations cup trophy in 1994.playing in several nations cup tournament.
just because he didnt win any major trophy with his clubside doesnt mean he underachieved.

Chrisozone:
They really cheat this guy, still can't believe he did not win African best player in his entire career..... so sad

Tell me the year you thought he should have won and I will show you why the eventual winner deserved it ahead of him.

This is still underachievement for someone of JJ's talent.

Pride.

I fully agree with you. A little more info would have made it worth calling news.
It appears the blog is just a "cut and paste" one.

On what occasion, including details of event would have made this a standard news. African and nonsense journalism

how did he underachieve?

He did ...Saying he is the greatest of players doesn't improve his record.

What did he win? As in trophies?

His mates Ronaldino et al won't trophies .

He chased the money and got it.

Even if Pele comes out to say okocha is great that won't add a trophy to his bare carbinet ..

Alot of African players fell for this chase money syndrome then, but the newer generation are smarter . Mikel is a good example, after winning trophies then he chased the money ... Kanu too.

My opinion though

There can be only one Jay Jay in any generation. Since he bowed out, Africa hasn't been able to produce another Jay Jay.

What about Drogba?.

My opinion though

with all mikels trophies, by the time he's retiring, he will not sum up to okochas networth though. Okocha won best African footballer of the year in 2003 and 2004 sha. Plus a hundred and fifty million dollars networth. To me thats not underachievement oh.

doskie:

Never won African Footballer award. Didn't play for a top European team. Many of those who achieved those are less talented.

Rotty32:

JJ is far talented than Drogba, yet Drogba achieved far more.

My point exactly, Nigerians think money defines success. You just proved my point in spades.

Thank you. Now you see exactly how okocha was reasoning ?
He will never be rated on the same level as Mikel by FIFA , UEFA , or even the English FA.

Only by Nigerians becausehere money = success.

You see my point now ?

Only if you can beat his achievements!!

Why can't we have Football Clubs, organized tournaments and football seasons for retired footballers? Their fees could be called pension or something.
This guy is greatly missed on our screens; super skillful guy. I wish he did not retired. He still get am for body.

So not winning the African Footballer is not important?
