FIFA celebrates incredible talent of Ex-Nigeria and PSG playmaker, Okocha

World governing body FIFA remembered Nigeria legend Austin ‘Jay-Jay’ Okocha with a video showing his dribbling skills during the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan.

The 48-year-old was the darling of many during the competition where the Super Eagles were pooled alongside Argentina, Sweden, and England.

The video has elicited debate on social media with a number of fans eulogising the player, who played 73 times for the Super Eagles between 1993 and 2006 and scored 14 times.

Okocha played across multiple leagues, starting his career with Enugu Rangers in the Nigerian Professional Football League before moving to Borussia Neunkirchen in Oberliga Sudwest, Germany’s third division in July 1990.

He made his official debut for Nigeria in their 2-1 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifier away loss against Ivory Coast in May 1993.
