Dearlord:


Lol, see me see trouble,
Are you thinking that he started playing at an old age?

Technically yes. He was off course part of the Mauritius 93 under 20 squad but he didn't become serious until he played for Bolton.

I can remember Nigeria vs Mexico 96 Olympics, he almost costed us the game due to his unseriousness.

He is a legend though but could have been better.

Elxandre:
People just keep playing the racism card for everything!
Weren't George Weah, Kanu, Taribo, Oliseh who played for much bigger clubs Africans?
George Weah even won the Ballon d'or.

No excuses. He couldn't make it to the top simple!

Are you saying there is no racism in football?

yeyerolling:
what did he play at psg Flopped

and still managed to reduce Dinho to a benchwarmer for the bulk of the time he was there.

d most skillful footballer eva

Tensionstar:
for those wishing he was white.even african best e no see. a frn was agueing wit me dat okocha is beta dn ronaldiho, can u imagine

He was. It is a fact. Only thing is Dinho played were the world would see him and with better players.

Is it a coincidence that dinho's light didn't shine until Okocha left?

shakswealth:


first Nigerian to have his name written in the English dictionary "BUHARISM"

Laudable achievement bro.....

He would have made it bigger if he had played for big teams like Real Madrid and Barca

That's not the point!

There might be racism, but it's sickening when blacks use it to justify every failure.

As I have listed above, an African even once won the Ballon d'or, so blacks have no excuse.
Drogba is worshipped at Chelsea.
Samuel Eto'o is recognised automatically by my keyboard's spelling prediction.

These are blacks with global repute in football.
You people should minimise your blaming of racism for everything!

eezeribe:
Ambassador of small teams...
I still rate the likes of Kanu,Drogba,Eto'o,Toure.... Far above Okochạ...

I guess you were watching or playing PS2

Best of the best. I get goosebumps when I remember he's tome in bolton wanderers

Much respect for you demi-god Okocha...so good they named him twice.

A good player

Only that Ronaldinho was a kid then.

Calm down bro, now having said all that Okocha has more recognition than most black players, in fact I think him and Weah are the only African player on Fifa 100 legends, Eto not there, same with Drogba.

What moat people are saying is that he was underrated, now look at it from the angle, with the exploits and skills that JJ possessed, how big do you think he would have been if he was an English man.

Look at the contribution of the media to the career of the likes of Sterling, Sturridge, Walcott and Co.

Now I know you know.

i am an igbo but this post is lame

BreezyCB:
Best player to never be recognized.. I mean individually he was on par with Ronaldo De Lima and Zidane..

he's always played for small teams and was afraid to move to a competitive team. This made him look average and could not even get African best player more less getting a recognition in Europe

Okocha's crime was that he refused to play for top European teams & champions league

Well deserved.

Remove Europe, In Africa wetin him win? not even African footballer of the year.

FIFA 100 list was composed in 2004......no way drogba and eto'o could make it to the list that time

Okocha is overhyped in Nigeria, he just had skills and nothing more. He was very very slow, he couldn't even win African Player of the year
