- "I have played with great footballers, but Jay-Jay was amazing. What a player: outstanding technical abilities, shooting, creativity, vision. He is the only n. 10 I've always admired." (Ronaldinho about Augustine Azuka Okocha)

I am from germany and Jay Jay played from 92 - 96 with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. He was the most artistic and at the same time the most elegant player I have ever seen. A real magician....
Jo das stimmt
Das stimmt.
Er ist eine Legende .
@@joshuagestures7576 chill out man, don't be an idiot
You are right, I saw him for the first time on tv during the 1998 World Cup and he was amazing. I think many people don't know about Okocha, many African players know the art of dribbling but, not as good in scoring like the European players or South American players, and the fact that African teams never won the world cup doesn't help them either.
@@Laszlo5897 no its true they were kind of racist at the time
Phenomenal player, criminally forgotten. I remember fondly watching him play the World Cup in 1994. I was totally amazed.
Criminally forgotten, you are totally right.
His fifa card definitely made more people know him now
Criminally forgotten the right words sir
@@cockandballtorture8972 pls wats his rating in fifa
Prosper Ayemere
Idk I think his normal icon card is 85 and the highest is 90
I remember his first game with PSG, he started on the banch. He entered the game in the second half, on one of his first touch he started to run from the midfield, one or two dribles, a sudden and powerful shot from 30m for a fantastic goal. Everybody loved him already.
I support Liverpool all my life, but this man made me like Bolton cause he was just so unbelievable with the ball. I had never seen anyone do that in the Premier League in the 90s.
Even till today, not many skilful players attempts these moves because they will fail, Okocha had that confidence and self belief in his ability. He had a special connection with the ball like no other player. I don't care if Messi is the GOAT, this man made football soo entertaining to watch.
You are me, and I am you.
Lies, he wasn't in the premier league in the 90s. But, a magician he was.
@@hamishtk227 lol 99- 2002 who cares. It was about 24 years ago. I was about 13 then. I don't think you accurately remember things from 20-30 years ago.
The beauty of football is that entertaining side of it. Let's forget about the trophies. Once it's not entertaining, it doesn't interest me.
Okocha, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo (not CR7), and few others made that happened for me, and once the exited the stage, it became boring for me to watch football. Someone should tell these guys that I don't care about all the goals and runs. I want to see the dribbles. I want to see skills and intelligence in the game.
I've missed football for so long. Man is so sad.
Okocha was a phenomenon, one of the greatest creative midfielder to have come out of Nigeria and Africa. To date we are still looking for another Okocha in Nigeria.
Exactly o, we never still see
That's an understatement, really. Nobody can say Okocha reminds him of another player. He does the impossible in his own way
Very correct
Not just Nigeria and Africa, but the world. Very unique player
I thought Iwobi would be that next person
He invented skills and use them perfectly on the pitch. He’s such a genius. He didn’t go for big clubs and he’s known for playing against bigger teams. Respect Jay Jay 😢
An absolute magician with the ball at his feet... A worthy Legend of the game Austin Jay Jay Okocha
He was Unbelievable Ronaldinho off Africa
When football was still about entertainment and passion. I remember watching the African Nations Cup Final in 2000 (Nigeria vs Cameroon). Cameroon was leading 2-1 and Okocha scored one of the greatest goals I've ever watched in my life for the equaliser (2-2). As a 13 years old Cameroonian supporter, I almost developed high blood pressure that day because of Okocha.
Though Cameroon had a very good squard with players like, Patrick Mboma, Rigobert Song, Marc-Vivian Foe, Samuel Eto'o, etc Okacha was the King; he was just phenomenal. He was a world class player!
Wow!
And RIP to Marc-Vivien Foe
I watched the game with my family, I was also 13. The whole house erupted after that left foot screamer. Wonderful player to watch. Right now the game is more about systems.
That's the last goal here on this clip,as a Nigerian...we ran to the streets,we would eventually loose that match on penalties with a dubious call on Victor lkpebas penalty...but,we were happy with the team,they gave their all.
Notice how many "Where's the ball gone" moments from the defenders. What a magician he was
🤣🤣🤣. Oh yes Jay Jay was a creator of " where's the ball" look on defenders.
😂🤣😂
Lolz ....
I didn't know Okocha until now, but after the video I would say that he is one of the most skilled football player in the football history.
Till tomorrow, Jay Jay Okocha remains one of the most magical and skilful players in history. He is not bothered with the partiality meted against. He is still living large. He is not forgotten that's why his soccer talent highlights are shown every where online. He is being immortalized as his soccer talent is being appreciated.
You can say that again
I am a Uganda, since my childhood I was a fan of Nigeria because of Okocha, babayalo, agahowa,agahowa who made me become a football fan. They made me enjoy football since my childhood. Blessed was that squad. I will never forget Okocha he is incredible.
Jay Jay Okocha and Gheorghe Hagi are the two most unfairly forgotten and overlooked players I have known. Two football greats of all time, and unfortunately the world is not aware of how good they were and they don't get the credit they deserve.
you forget Gunter Netzer
Or litbarski
You've spoken well oh
He was not a great player. His freekicks and long range were good. But his dribbling and passing was wasteful
Hagi was played for real madrid and barcelona
Ronaldinho himself said that he was inspired by Jay Jay the magician
When buddy
Neymar also.
Auztynn Human Interest liar
No!
Ronaldinho gaúcho and neimar were inspired by Garrincha!!!
Garrincha invented the Brazilian way to play soccer.
The word ginga represent the Brazilian way, and its a misture between soccer and dance.
Also by Garrincha comes a word "mané" that means fool. Everybody was fool in a match against Garrincha.
Yeh his 's foot ball skills master
The man God... It's a shame many have forgotten this hero... Even Ronaldo and ronaldinho respects him... Okocha no 10 .. Biafra loves you .
He respect them tho
Miccoli was better …
I've never seen someone DANCING around the pitch with the ball like that before... when he lobs the ball over Bergkamp, OMG!!!!! Thanks for the upload!!!
You're welcome! It seems that Okocha had fun every time he was on the pitch. "He always played with a smile, he went past players like he was just dancing" (cit. Joburg Post). Amazing
Surely he deserves
Lol..Even tho that was Ray Parlour, Jay-Jay was still magical
@@Jay-Jay_007 So you are here. Lol... you were such a great player. Hahaha
Jay Jay has got the biggest, most lovable smile I've ever seen on a footballer. he loved every minute of it and we love him!
Ronaldinho: "Am I a joke to you"
@@donhouston916 Ngolo Kante: You underestimate my power
aphex twin brudda rock on in da free world and never forget the good effects of the ganja
"Neymar jr left the chat"
This guy play a match in Zimbabwe and the Zimbabwe sports federal association fired the commentator for screaning his name unendlessly.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
HC MD Are you serious?
@@damianeze7292 YES
I went to that game at Rufaro stadium just to see Okocha
@@tichgwanzura6862 it was at national Sports actually.
@@damianeze7292 yes Charles mabika got fired, even Peter Ndlovu asked to be subbed so he can watch him play also
Am from brazil...okacha is the finest player i ever know along side with ronaldinho!truth should be said!
Why am i always coming back to see this video 😭😭 pure talent
I M from India , I have watched Jay² Played in Bolton and PSG he is one of the best Artistic player and the wizard in football, His skills was unexpectable and can score goal ...even thou he was Midfielder he can also played as Striker... He is one of the best elegant player that I ever seen in football history... Ronaldinho and Jay² were the most skilfull players....
Even I am from India . And just check out his Fenerbahce skills
Called the false no9. But always a no10
Add Neymar Jr to the list because he is similar to Jay Jay
he played 96-98 at Fenerbahçe, still he is ours Legend. he was amazing footballer. we miss him so much. he is a world class player jay jay OKOCHA
If Jay Jay Okocha was born in Brazil, Germany or France he would be remembered as one the greatest of all time.
Thank you for all the likes I wasn't expecting anything over 10 likes. 👍😊
Completely agree
true
he is remembered as one of the great, nodoubtabouthat
Also if he was at a bigger club. When they do greatest PL players he is never in the list even though he was easily on of the most technically gifted
Confirmó mmg. : means I agree :v
Everytime I think of Nigeria I think about Jay Jay Okocha idk why but it might be how the human brain works, because when I was a little kid I loved to watch him play and he was the only thing I knew about Nigeria at the time, so it has followed me my whole life that I get flashes of Okocha in my mind everytime I hear something about Nigeria. Now I ofcourse know more about Nigeria but my mind still think about Jay Jay. He is a true Nigeria and African legend 🇳🇬
Jay Jay is one of the most underrated footballers in history watched his whole career brotha was sick.
No matter how great the player was Okocha would dribble pass anybody....he was a respecter of nobody on the turf.. such an amazing legend to watch.
he was better than Ronaldinho on the pitch and scored more goals than Maradona...only Pelé and Romário in my opinion did more on the pitch than this guy, I am Brazilian, place this Okocha as the 3rd best player in history.
@@emerson3853 Rhonaldino observed and learned and a lot from him,Dhino is the Brazilian JJ.
I'm a Ghanaian and I think pound for pound, JJ Okocha is the best ball juggler in Africa and I would rank him among the best 10 in the world.
Thank you Ghana one love
not just one of the best in Africa but one of the best of all time what a skillfully gifted footballer we love you in Nigerian
This Jay boy is stupendously talented...at times, he leaves the ball behind and runs... the opponent also forgets himself, leaves the ball too and runs after him!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
😩😩😩😂😂😂
😂😂😂🤣
For J J football was a game to be enjoyed, so he laughed and smile at all times. He is one of the greatest footballer if all generations. Fifa must correct thier mistakes while he is still alive and not to celebrate him as the best after his exit. JJ is exceedingly phenomenal.
we should stop limiting jay jay okocha to Africa he is among the very best the world has ever seen
Absolutely. I'm Italian, and if I have to be honest Okocha was better than Baggio, Totti or Del Piero who are way more recognized. If he was born in Brazil he would be a soccer legend.
not "among" -- the best in his position, period.
Who was limiting him to Africa? If you don't know Okocha you don't know football.
@@mardenhill What was his position?
@@marcosabias6664 MCO
The man. We'll never see his like in our shirt again so I feel lucky to have been there for so many of his magical displays as a Trotter.
This is no joke! Let the truth be said and prevail! Jay-Jay Okocha is by far the best player in the world ever! A friend of mine from Mexico called me repeatedly, to tell me this truth. I'm originally from Cameroon; and I have known all the best soccer players in the world; But Jay-Jay Okocha is THE BEST, SERIOUSLY!
Agree .... people who don’t know Okocha ... know nothing about a beauty football
I think Ronaldo the fenomeno was the best and most gifted player I've ever seen.
He is far from the best player ever. He is not even in the top 200 best players ever.
@@devondevon3416 HE IS ON PELE 100 LIST
I wouldn't say the best but he is on top 20
Well even if he didn't won any awards. I believe God has blessed him with the praises of the people around the world
Okocha is one of the most entertaining and enigmatic players ever. His talent with the ball was supernatural, and he did things most players don't even dream of attempting. Some say he could have scored more goals or been more consistent than he was. Maybe, but he played football in his own way, and it was magical. He's one of the few players who is truely loved by the fans of every club he played for, and he's loved by fans of opposing teams too. It takes something very special to be loved by everyone wherever you go.
We Africans don't value what we have . This guy is exceptional . So much love his movements in the pitch very fantastic . Haven't seen someone greater than you so far . One love ❤️❤️❤️😘❤️❤️😘😘😘
Was lucky enough to watch him a lot at Bolton Wanderers. Fantastic player.
his simple fake step over to the inside on the wing was such an unstoppable move, kind of reminds me of how robben would cut into the middle on his left. His opponents would know he was going to do it but still couldn’t stop it
Hahahaha... exactly. You knew he would do it yet find it difficult to stop him. I think the problem is the fact that they are awed by the player and also the knowledge that the player had many other skills he could pull out of his bag of tricks so opponents were always confused.
They played in Turkey in golden ages of Turkish football and very well respected in Turkey more than Messi or Ronaldo.
One of the greatest to ever step on the pitch. The world may not remember but we surely do and as long as we have breathe, his memories will always live on. King of dribbling...
One of the most underrated player ever I'd say...how special was he...
A real wizard...with the ball!!!
Very similar style to Ronaldinho and an influence. It's hard to imagine that most younger folk don't know who he is. Very skillful and creative. Ronaldinho did surpass time in terms of skills but Jay Jay was simply one of the best of his time.
I really doubt Ronaldinho got anywhere near him in terms of skills, but he made the right transfer decisions. Jay Jay was out of this world. And I watched both at their peak. I was older at Dinho's peak and much younger at Okocha's peak.
@@diligenceeke3023 Same! I'm old now lol Yes, it is fair to say that 'Dinho built on the foundation of Okocha's talent and skill and I think most agree surpassed him. Both were amazing. Statistics clearly show Dinho passed Jay Jay in performance but I don't think it matters. Both were world class and arguably some of the best on the ball.
Dinho didn't have skills like JJ , he actually learnt from him, just that Okocha didn't play for bigger clubs
Soccer History will never discard your name in Nigeria 🇳🇬 ✍️💪
Jay Jay was the guy that introduced most of the magical skills in today’s football playing style. I don’t know why there’s no second Jay Jay in Nigeria football today. I feel sad the world is not celebrating this Legend. Why ⁉️
True i always wachse him hes my idol 🎉😊❤
Jay Jay Ockocha and Ronaldinho are the two best players ever. Most elegant and artistic to play the game.
Because he didnt play for Brazil or Real or Barca he didnt get the credit or recognition he deserves.
No no no no no the world of football still owe this guy
Im a defender and im glad that players like him dont play anymore, because I would never become professional.
He was amazing.
Hahahahaha
😂
Lol 🤣🤣😂🤣
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A genius one of Africa's most skilful players ever, poetry in motion.
*world's...
Perfect definition, POETRY IN MOTION. 👏👏👏
This man brought old and modern football together and summed them up. Skills and entertainment began from him. Kudos to u bro
he is the only player in the history of football that you cannot mark out of play either as a dm, cm, cam, rw, or lw even as a striker...........he made tremendous stable impact in every team he's played. comes with new stuff everytime on pitch and is never afraid to take risks. from qatar to germany to france and finally england. he was an inventive phenomenon and extremely versatile . ronaldinho, kaka, messi, ibra, suarez and all the big names have been marked out of the field of play childishly..........but this guy is a rare gem... his presence alone excites fans. imagaine fans coming to pay to watch him trainat reebok stadium......he stands steady to dribble anybody and infact the only player that does not speed dribble. he faces you messes you up with ease and he did that to all best players in his prime. he square plays like no other...both foot feint players were rare those days and finally note also that racism is extremely terrible in his days of play.
Very true. Pure Skills at work
Best comment I have seen so far , you thoroughly know jay jay
Jay Jay okochia the Nigerian football professor... respect 4life...you are the best no other player can be conpire with you cos your simply the best of all time..
absolutely ties defends in knots, the dribbling, the scoops not to mention the dead ball ability. sign of a great player, they can bang a free kick as well they can flaunt it on the pitch. i’m just sorry i didn’t get to see jay jay play live.
J J Okocha is undeniably one of the greatest footballers to ever grace the soccer pitch!!
Had the pleasure of watching JJ's goal for Bolton v West Ham (shown here - ran from own half). 1-0 win. Amazing player. Only player I have ever bought a shirt with their name on.
One of the best vidéos of Okocha for You tube, no doubt. Thank's very much for all the vidéos Barbosa futbol.
From France ✅🇨🇵
JJ Okocha was the player that introduced" leg over " style of dribbling to football and that was why RONALDINHO has to learn from him. Great player 👏
When they talk about best football player, skillful player, and others, most people don't check on Africa, they just look around themselves, hit the like button if you're from Niaja (Baba-Okocha you too good jor )
It's not about Naija, it's about Africa. Get it right.
All Africans love him and true lovers of football.
@@Bigbaby071 he's naijan, so it's about naija.
I’m not from Naija but damn I hit that button 🤣
Okocka truly was among the most skillful of his generation
Africa no longer produces skill players like jay jay and ba it's all about pace now
Saw him play while at PSG...he was unreal!!!
Wow, thanks!
He's up there with the greatest of all time. He should be mentioned in the same sentence as Zidane, Cruyff, Ronaldino, Messi, etc.
Lol are you dumb or what. Cruyff messi ronaldinho zidane. absolutely not. He is absolutely one of the greatest dribbleis football history but greatest football ever absolutely not even close
Note white don't like African because we black
@@dannyhustle2599 Get your head out of your ass. Okocha is really underrated.
He isnt the greatest of all time, but he was still a damn special player and was criminally underrated. Although he is not in the same league as the likes of Messi and Ronaldo
At least he should be mentioned alongside Beckham, Luis Figo, Totti, Del Piero but for God sakes not Messi and Zidanne.
The best player in the history of Africa ❤
He is my greatest African footballer
thank you for the games and thank you for inspiring Ronaldinho
One of the worlds greatest tricksters and what a shot great memories for the Bolton fans
Jay Jay. He stands by to dribble. He doesn't just run off to dribble. He 'sits' calmly like he's in his living room and messes u up. I remember watching '94 world cup qualifiers. We just want the ball to come to him to be entertained. The cheers from the spectators say it all. It was magical!! Jay Jay!!!! Nothing like this anymore. It's all kick and follow all thru 90 mins these days.
Better than Christiano and merci better than nerma and mbappe
I am an Arsenal fan- I can wholeheartedly attest to his brilliance...
Crimanly underrated.
One of my favourite players ever! Greetings from 🇭🇷
One of the most underatted legend in soccer.
One of the most techically gifted players ever. Mr. Fantasy
We'll never see such a player as this man again in football! He's just unique! This video sets my eyes on fire 💥
I lost interest of football when Okocha hanged the boots!
You will see 2022 golden eaglet Emmanuel Michael is the next to see
Nice content. To me trading the forex and crypto market is way better than any online investment
I'm yet to see the backtested results in my trading account, so I'm also working on being more aggressive in adding to winners.
an expert who can providethought of investing in bitcoin around 2019 but was discouraged by the rise and fall, don't know but feel like giving it a try proper guidance, and trades with the right strategies.
Sounds interesting. Been trying to learn this game
would advise you try EOS price prediction because it will rise again.
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade.. I will advice you not to stop trading on your own it's very risky. Seek advice of a professional trader
This was real "magical football!!"
If football is a war he would have won many battles without a sword. Professor of football
I Don't see a word to describe how much he is both on the and off the pitch, his class is immeasurable.
JJ Wow what a player,,, he had skills never seen before or since,,, he hit that ball so hard it flew straight with no arc,,,a pleasure to watch in his Bolton days
Such a joy to watch ❤
Sem comentários esse era meu maior ídolo jogava muito sou fãn desse cara que meu apelido aqui na cidade minha e pequinho okocha te agradeço cara pra mim o número 1 sou teu fãn muito obrigado
Jay -Jay Okocha the hero. during his time he was one of the world best football player. he has a lot of skills.
Best ever💯,,no one in this world🌍is better than him even now he is the best ever💯💯💯
Itzfreeboy lucky I agree. If JJ was european or Latin he would be more appreciated. He was better than christiano. Perhaps ronaldinho or zedan could match his skills. Alas he is african.
One word: Maradona
Clearly you’re I dedicated in the sport. I can name 90 + players better, and I’m a jay jay Okocha fan, but I’m blinded by fanboyness. He’s great at skills and shots but that just it, he lacks the vision, passing and team player qualities that you’d find in players such as Ronaldinho, Maradona Ronaldo Ronaldo messi, etc
Nacho Y La Ciencia preach
NANI ? STFU . Separate the man from he craft. Yeh he may be a pothead, or whatever, but at his craft which is football he is one of the best ever and definitely top 5 of all time. He ticks he boxes if what it takes to be a masterful greatest player
Fifa should honour Okocha in a special way.Jay jay was/is one of the greatest footballers i have ever seen.
True. He is the most skilful player in the history of the game.
The GOAT that entertains us
So inspirational 🙌
The most skillful African player of all time.
The most skilful player of all time.
One of my favorites player.🇯🇲
Jay jay is everything in football you will forget your sorrows watching him
He is Fenerbahçe legend.
The great Jay Jay is always a beauty to watch.... May God bless us with another player like him oooo
as far as technical creativity and stylistic beauty of play no one comes close
The greatest legend of all time
My childhood idol...!
I used to try his tricks in my team, they even nicknamed me because of some of the crazy shit I would pull off..
Huge fan 😍
Grande okocha entre los mejores de la historia
Esse cara é o único que eu vi que dançava em campo kkk o cara era um show
Fantastic player!
The Master! It's beyond me that he doesn't get the mentions alongside Henry, Bergkamp, Cantona, Zola etc as among the greatest foreign players to grace the Prem.
Combination of physical, technical, explosivness and elegance. Okocha is one of the greatest talents ever to grace football. His dexterity was insane, only neymar is close to this in modern days.
5:00 Very nice goal against Oliver Kahn
(Bundesliga: Frankfurt vs. Karlsruhe)
This was real a blessing, i have never seen such a prayer in this world, it was like a miracle
0:42-0:52 his signature dribble. I remember when he did that everyone in my neighbourhood started doing that hahaha good old times
Giocatore sorprendente...ma senza padrini in terra ! Indubbiamente da inserire nella top ten di tutti i tempi..!
We appreciate your originality Jay Jay Okocha. Absolutely confident with the ball in his feet. He knew he could dribble everybody on the field and believed in his abilities and capabilities
One of my favourite players to watch when he was at Bolton. His tricks were so audacious they made me laugh in disbelief watching this video. Thanks for the upload
You're welcome
The master of all time
He must've been sentenced a long time ago for degrading human dignity with his phenomal dribbling and vicious shooting. :D
ecykixx completely degrading and disrespectful to his opponents, he shows no mercy and I love it.
0ghi
My favourite African player of all time, such a wonderful natural talent, he played with such freedom and joy.
