THAT someone was Etoo with trophies to back it up.

SmartyPants:
Okocha never won major club honours - would have always been difficult for him. Mikel was never exceptional enough as an individual.

So it's sad our most gifted player was not accomplished enough, and our most accomplished player was not gifted enough.

Oh was it Eto? cant really remember.

kendrick93:
None.
Eto'o was better in the years Okocha had a claim.
Far better actually.

Omoawoke:


You obviously don’t know what you were saying.

Okocha was robbed by CAF. It was corruption

brain54:
They are all caf- African football player of the year worthy...

It's unbelievable Jay never won it. He came close though. Mikel came close also.


If all of them were in their prime and are all nominees I had to pick best from this your particular list:

-Jay
-Taribo
-Mikel
-Amokachi
-Obafemi

For me it would be a close margin to pick Mikel above Amokachi but I rated him above because he is a more versatile player.

Also Obafemi would be a bit far down the perking order.

Quality players - all of them!

How that guy won the BBC African player of the year award ....and someone else was given the CAF award same year is still a mystery to me.

I'm still surprised till today. Okocha is very good.

I think he should have played for top clubs in England/Spain instead of Bolton.

madridguy:
So you expected CAF to award someone playing in Bolton ahead someone playing FCB?

God1000:
Jay Jay Okocha

Very remarkable and fantastic player during his time
