Truidstar:Okocha was a pointless dribbler pre-98 not until 2000 Afcon that we started seeing end product and by the time the whole world would notice he was already clocking in on 30 years of age 1 Like |

jihday: What do you mean by pointless dribbler. Go back and watch Okocha, he usually completed over 95% of his passes after those dribbles, and made incredible assists. He was never a quiet kind of player, you can never mark him out, usually involved in build up of Play. As at that time, that was what being a "number 10" was about. That is Possession of great skills, being creative and also being able to distribute the ball from the midfield to the winger or attackers. Football has evolved and the system has become more efficient but you cannot write of J.J Okocha's Contribution to the game. Even the great Ronaldinho mentioned he learnt the act of dribbling from Okocha. 5 Likes |

jihday: As per pele the fact he did not play in Europe is used against him but the south ameri league was better than the European league in his time. It's like saying Messi should leave spain to prove himself. He was already in one of the best leagues In the world. Also the brazilian government declared pele a national treasure to prevent an European club from buying him. Most members of the 1970 brazili world cup winning team were playing in South America. Even now the brazilian league is at the level of the dutch league talk less of the 60s and 70s when it was better than European teams and santos regularly defeated European teams |

Icon4s: Lies , lies from the pit of hell ... If I charge you to drop a source for Ronaldinho saying this now , you will begin capping .... Okocha taught Ronaldinho that was playing in Gremio how to dribble ? Rubbish talks. Okocha was an ineffective player reason he couldn't Dorn the colours of any top club. He was busy playing for clubs with Zero ambitions |

I don't know why people think JJ was all dribbles and nothing. Do you think PSG paid 16 Million in 1998 just for dribbles. In case you don't know in Fenerbahce he almost equalled 1 goal in 2 games and a assist in 3 game. Do you call that a endless dribble. His career stats as an attacking midfielder reads Club Games-491 Goal-101 Assist-52 National team Game-75 Goal-15 Okocha did not have the luxury of playing with Luxury player but he was efficient in carrying the team. Nigeria and Bolton are good examples Lastly like someone said football has evolved and major focus in now on goal scoring. Zidane is regarded as one of the greatest midfielder of all time his stats is just a bit different from Okocha's own despite player playing with better players, am not saying Okocha is better ![]() The only mistake JJ made was joing Bolton. After his showing against United SAF wanted him but Okocha demanded the no 10 Jersey which cause the transfer to fail. 1 Like |

Okocha joined Bolton because Bolton offered higher wages to him than Man U.Okocha said this himself in an Instagram live video with Flavour and Phyno and not because of the number 10 jersey. andrewbaba44: 1 Like |

Icon4s: This is so apt though it's undeniable that he was over exuberant with his dribbles. Without Okocha, I doubt we would have won the 94 AFCON, he was the X-Factor in that team. Without him ( and Amokachi) we wouldn't have gotten past the defending champions in the Semis. He was the ball holder and joggler who starved the Ivoriens of the ball in the midfield which greatly frustrated them. He did the same in the final against the Zambians and the moment he was removed, the Zambians took over, over ran our midfield and looked like the were going to get the equalizer. Even Pele said he was enjoying the match till Okocha was removed. Let's give him the credit he deserves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zshMNvLq5IQ 3 Likes |
