I think Austin Okocha ( Jay Jay ) is heading to 55 years or 60 years.

But certainly not 45 years.

African footballers tell lies about their age.

Plus or Minus, Austin Okocha was a great footballer during his playing days.

He mesmerize the opponent with his superb dribbling skills which often made the opponent to look dumbfounded.

I just hope he join the coaching crew as a technical adviser to coach someday.

The football industry needs him as a coach.

Happy Birthday Jay Jay!

Dont understand the sentiment here.

They lived at Artisan quarters before they moved to Mbanefo Street New Haven. The Okocha family had three boys and they all had JJ as their nicknames...James the oldest had the nickname (JJ) which was passed to Emma and then to Augustine.

Ask your mum to explain better before you start to spread lies on the internet. JJ joined Enugu Rangers straight from Secondary school and he started playing with the big boys at a very early age.

For those questioning his daughters age, JJ met his wife after Atlanta 96. How long ago was that? They got married before he had his daughter.

You people should stop all these nonsense.

Your mum is a liar.

Him n Maradona in dat piz....let just keep quiet cool
i remember that match. our 2nd game in USA '94 world cup.

Nigeria scored first. Siasia tip the ball over their keeper Islas and a defender. the pass came from Yekini.

Argentina scored from a freekick. Maradonna passed the ball to Caniggia their brace scorer who took a direct shot. keeper Rufai punched it but he struck a rebound.

Eguavoen caused that goal. he left the attacker he was marking to join the wall of defence.

he also caused the penalty in the match against Italy (our best game of the century); by 88 minutes, Italian players were already crying.

e be like say something dey follow our Edo brothers go world cup. Aihegbeni (2010) and Ighalo (2018) "abeg na joke i talk oh"

Okocha played at Under_20 junior African nations cup in Mauritius '91

45 years old - 27 years ago = 18

So he went to Us. 94 at 21 years abi. Please subtract his daughters age (27) from his own and tell me how he had her when he was 16 or 17 years old. Smh pple can lie ooo. So how old was his wife when he married her
Which daughter is 27 years,Okocha married around 1997/1998.I know because I was old enough to remember..the girl should be around 20/21 years of age..
1997 to be precise(Google)..so you can extrapolate the daughter's age from that..

This is very wrong information and testament to the fact that Wikipedia cannot be 100% trusted.

We played the first match in Abidjan which we lost 1-0, then the Ivorians came to National Stadium Lagos for the return leg which they only needed a draw to qualify for the World cup. Unfortunately for them, Nigeria slaughtered them 4-1 in that encounter. Nigeria now had to go to Algeria for the make ar break encounter which a draw would see us qualify.
Finidi George scored for Nigeria in Algiers, the Algerians equalized, but the draw was good to send us to our first world cup, USA 94.
The match in Abidjan actually ended 2-1,Yekini scored first and I think that was Okocha's debut for the senior national team..
