Okocha retired quite too early.

There are many players of his age group like Franck Ribery of France that is still playing.

Perhaps the decision to retire from International football would have been this time.

Happy Birthday to him.

Way back from Mauritius 93 AYC, the legend introduced himself to the national team. Though the team couldn't qualify for the World cup, JayJay stood out among his peers

Do not be mistaken that Messi has been playing like that doesn't mean his son will be good @ football to start with.. Did Messi inherit that from his father Jorge Messi? Though it's 50/50 but slim this is not height or weight or hair colour that someone can inherit from someone's parents

Funny enough next Messi can come from Asia or Africa

Read it again I said probably, I never said there's anyone like him

Happy Birthday to Jay Jay



What actually made him a legend, dribbling Oliver Can with six other players, is that what makes one a legend? Cos I think that's the only achievement he had.

Pls if by any chance your child will be a footballer warn him against too much dribbles and leg over with skills. They are good but won't take you far with the records and achievements ask neymar Even Okocha will testify.

Teach your child to play like Ronaldo and not a dribbler. Except if he is another Messi.

There are many players that plays like Ronaldo this days and in fact he is thier role model.
Mbape, Sancho, Haaland, Salah, etc

And there's no one like be Messi, probably his son can be like him.

Once the most expensive player in Africa.
He also captained a top English club. What else do you want him to do before you know that he is a legend ?

LOL being a captain doesn't make you a legend. You can only be called a legend for achieving something for either your club or your country. Coutinho was once a captain of Liverpool that doesn't make him a legend.

Jay Jay was a fine player but he's not a legend

Wow! Jay Jay Okocha is such an humble person. Infact, i can say he's the true definition of humility. I've met him once at Access/Lagos Marathon 2020 @ Eko atlantic. Though he still looks younger than the said age.


Happy birthady Jay Jay, May You Continue to Touch the Lives Around You, Amen!

BUHARI IS 51 YEARS OLD (FOOTBALL AGE)

I remember this man Austin "Jay-Jay" Nwabunike Okocha. I so much admired his football prowess. We all grew up in Enugu town.

I'm not sure of his exact birth date but being 47years old today little or nothing might have been taken out of his actual age because in 1991 when I was in JSS1 at National Grammar School (Nike Boys), Abakpa Nike, Enugu Okocha was in SS3 in same school then. Their set passed out same year. So considering I'm in my early 40s, his being 47years may not be far from the truth. It was also around that time that he first traveled to Minnesota USA for a football tournament.

Happy Birthday to him! May he live long and live well.

You are wrong about this. I am 49, in year 1994 while serving as a corper in Edo State University in Ekpoma, I met a male student who claimed to be classmate of Okocha. We had a discussion about his age and that confirmed to me that Okocha is right about his age. Obviously that student who claimed to be his former classmate was below my own age because I was a corper at the university then. Okocha just came on the scene then in 1994 and participated in the world cup held in USA in June of that year. I started my service year around May/June of that year. Not every players lie about their age. The only player I know for sure that lied is Sunday Oliseh. He was my senior at Methodist Boys High School in Lagos where he came to do A-levels. When I was in form-4 he was in Lower-6, which was the first year of A-Level. He was actually a prefect.
