Im a Cameroonian, this guy made us dream as kids. We had a chant for him in Cameroon "Oh Jay Jay Okacha, Oh Lalalala". My best African player of all time. Thanks for making Africa and esp Nigeria proud.
We were lucky enough to have him at Hull City for a while, it was like the ball was magnetic and his first touch was immaculate…. Legend. Thanks JJ, from a Hull City fan.
I'll second that. He wasn't with us very long and it was at the tail end of his career but he was still one of the classiest players to ever wear a Hull City shirt. UTT.
@@MSPstance R9 was more of a head-on goal scorer having great dribbling. I loved him more for his finishing. Prime CR7 would be more likely be on my list than R9. My list consists of: Thierry Henry Cristiano Ronaldo Ronaldinho Gaucho Jay-Jay Okocha Mohamed Salah Heung-Min Son Ricardo Quaresma Alexis Sanchez Sylvian Wiltord (underrated)
that statement alone shows ur lack of knowledge . NO player ever has out dribbled a goalie more than R9 . and how in the hell can you list up Salah/alexis/Quaresma but not Zlatan ?? @@orhankucuksahin6297
His brother’s name was jay and when his brother had injury he now played for his brother, so they named him after his brother jay; that is the second jay so the story goes
I got into a huge fight with some fanboys when i told them that okocha was just as skillful as ronaldinho but because he's not Brazilian he didnt get the recognition
He was the only reason this Liverpool fan would watch Bolton Wanderers back in the day. Even when he was playing against us, I'd quietly admire this magician from Nigeria. I think someday in the not-too-distant future Okocha needs to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame!!
Don't forget Ronaldinho, don't forget Okocha. Reason is that we can't afford to forget either of the two except we want to cheat ourselves of the fun they bring to football. May we have more of Okochas and Ronaldinhos in World soccer.
Okocha was a different breed man. Even though i never got to watch his games because I am from a younger generation, but I really enjoy watching clips of him using his magic to play with the ball like that.
Thank you for the beautiful narration. Very well done. Our Jay Jay Okocha! He just closed 50 years recently. May God bless him and all that are his. Amen.
Both were immense ball jugglers. Forget Ronaldinho? Unthinkable for one who's watched him since 1999..That said JJ was also a master of the art...Funny thing is: African football had almost no exposure in the 70s..A Certain Cameroonian player called Ndongo of Tonnerre Kalara Club (TKC) mesmerized fans across the continent with his dazzling outer worldly skill on a par with today's greats......ALL LEGENDS. ⚽
The problem with modern football fans is that they think football started in the late 20th century or like early 21st century. But the truth is these skill moves were being done by players long before even Pele was born. There are videos of Matthias Sindelar doing step-overs way back in the 1920s. Leonias da Silva, Jose Manuel Moreno, Giuseppe Meazza, Stanley Matthews were also very influential dribblers. And I am sure there are probably many footballers even before doing such incredible moves.# Football is a very old sport.
@ Stop hating and appreciate! Ronaldinho is good and worshipped in Brazil. He was mentored and has publicly acknowledged Okocha for a lot of his skills it's only the average man who keeps arguing pointlessly!

@@richardgaya3965 What is my genuine ignorance? Being 41 and having seen a lot of other players doing "crazy dribbles"? Being (basically) brazilian and knowing that nobody in Brazil knows Okocha? Tell me.
i watched him at FB, in Turkey when he averaged half a goal from midfield. He absolutely dominated the turkish leage. People focus on the trickery and dribbles. but i think what made him gr8 was actually muscle power. i never can understand why he could not sign top clubs, where was Man U. , Barca , Milano ? Only explonation is Africans were not respected like todays balotellis and saka's.
I'm a Nigerian. He was good, but he wasn't that good. He didn't have enough end product. He dribbled a lot and was super entertaining, but at times he overdid it and held onto the ball for too long. PSG was a pretty big club in the 1990s and he went there but didn't really perform to the best of his ability. I've always pointed go another Nigerian, Kanu Nwankwo, as an example of what Okocha had and what Okocha lacked. Kanu was absurdly skillful as well, but not as skillful as Okocha. But he had better end product and better decision making. It is why Kanu ended up playing for clubs like Ajax, Inter and Arsenal and win African Footballer of the Year, while Okocha played for Fenerbahce, PSG and Bolton and was never named African Footballer of the Year.
@@brianduru3753 As a Nigerian, I completely disagree with you. As a player, there are many factors that affect whether you play for the bigger teams or not. Your football trajectory, age, support team, agent, football decisions and above all luck (especially for African players at that time). Kanu's exposure and final transfer to Arsenal played a major part in his exposure because of premier league. When Okocha was in Bundesliga, only the big teams in Germany had a lot of exposure. When you compare the total number of goals by Kanu (a striker) for both club and country with that of Okocha (a midfielder), they are almost identical. So, that negates your assertion that his end product was not good.
So just you know, before Okocha there were hundreds of Brazilians players doing it. Pelé back in the 60's was doing it. So you should go out more. Ronaldinho and Neymar come from a very long line of players like that in Brazil. Djalminha, Raí, Denilson, Clodoaldo, Tostão, Garrincha, Pelé, Didi, Edmundo, Edilson, Ilsinho, Cafú, Giovanni, Rivaldo, etc... I could go on for a long time.
Forget Ronaldinho? I don't think so. Certainly this guy deserves recognition, he had amazing skills and surely he had an impact on young Ronaldinho and the whole sport, so I am really glad you showcased him, but Ronaldinho is still my man, it is that he does it with a smile that gets me, every time.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After Pele, It was Okocha... Not Maradona, not Messi, Not Ronaldo, But J.J Okocha!!
7:25 Okocha vs Henry. Henry giving a "oh shit" smile after losing the ball? We have no idea the luck we had growing up in the 90's. I'd say 90's/2000's were the greatest years for football.
People in Jamaica that were older than Okocha were doing EVERYONE of those moves when I was a child. That includes the Okocha step over. Before Okocha was old enough to play, it was called TAPAZUKI style in Jamaica...in 98 world cup, the player from Jamaica named Tappa Whitmore got that name Tappa because he loved doing it. And the flip overhead was called COSMO STYLE, taken from a trick that PELE LOVED TO DO. Actually, Pele was before Okocha. Okocha is a great street footballer and tricky too...but so too were so many others who had results to back it up. I would not forget Ronaldino because of Okocha though, for Ronaldino was even more skillful, more ACCURATE (PINPOINT ACCURACY, INCLUDING WITH DEADBALL SITUATIONS), more EFFICIENT, MORE SUCCESSFUL IN HIS MOVES (SOMETHING COMES OUT OF IT) Ronaldinho's achievements are always because of his skills. He won wherever he went. Even if the team was not winning, just because he was so good, he made it win. He had awards and medals coming out of his ass. He was so good that opposing teams' fans cheered for him. How then can JJ Okocha compare??? There was no skill that Okocha did that Dhino did not do better and turn into success - goals, victory and medals. And YES! Dhino could make a very good street footballer too. In fact, just watching him juggling the ball was worth the fan's money...especially him playing with the cross bar. Hitting it, waiting for the ball to come back and hitting it again consistently - FROM A MILE AWAY! This was magic that I have not seen ANY GREAT PLAYER do to this day...but you say forget Ronaldinho for Okocha. What did Okocha do beside a few tricks that so many other players did? You think Okocha did tricks? It's because most of the tracks with Pele are not shown...you would see something!
He said forget Ronaldinho in the title to attract viewers, it's basically clickbait. Also Okocha and Dinho are on par in terms of skills Ronaldinho used them effectively like you said.
JayJay is talented. I would not choose him over Dinho. I know you still don't get it. Africa could be doing better in world football if you would only get it. Players can do a lot of fancy footworks without being effective. I doubt that there is any high profile games of Okocha that I never watched. I am simply not going to be dishonest about his value. Tell me about the underrated legends like Didier or Eto. I almost stopped watching football when Didier retired. I don't care if he was sick on the day - He never made me lose a bet. And I dont' bet on how many nutmegs and stuff like that, so Okocha is out.@@Adeolaah
Look at the teams he played for. That should tell one, all one needs to know. Really great players play for the top teams. Outside of PSG. He played for mid teams.
The most influential dribblers are those who score behind their dribbles or make chances to score. Let’s talk about Pelé, Cruyff, Maradona, Ronaldo R9 or Messi. Okocha is not in the conversation. Stop forcing.
Okocha actually didn’t like playing for big clubs. He felt it wasn’t fun. He did all this at a time when it was brute force football. Okocha goes and does exactly what he wants
You are so ignorant. Was PSG not a big club? Do you know how gard it is for African players to be bought then that Okocha broke such barrier to play PSG? Tell me how many African players played for big clubs in the 1990s?
Remember wen he got a yellow card for overdribbling defenders and the keeper without scoring. The referee had to caution him to preserve the dignity of his opponents😂
It is quite clear and well known that to maintain the status quo, every great thing from the African continent is suppressed and grossly understated or tainted. This has been the narrative and agenda ever since a certain race of people invented Racism then exported it across the globe. There is not one European footballer I can think of past or present with the dribbling skills or art as Jay Jay besides George Best and Johan Cruyff both talented ball handlers . Yes Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho Gaucho, Ronaldo Nazario are all equally great on the ball and are all from SA, yet the vast majority of global footballing awards goes to the European continent. When it comes to raw dribbling prowess even some of the past "legendary" greats like Maradona or Pele (rest their souls) have acknowledge the skills of Jay Jay. So while we cant "forget" Ronaldinho, Okocha is definitely one of the master dribblers.
Are you crazy? Forget Ronaldinho? Forget Okocha and not Ronaldinho. If Okocha was that good, then he would have the same impact as Ronaldinho had in world football since they are from the same generation. George Wheah is the only African player to ever win a ballon'd or, why? It is because , he really played his football. He showed his skills at a very high level and competing with the greatest of his generation. Why didn't Okocha did the same? Ronaldinho can never be forgotten because when Barcelona was down , Ronaldinho came and lifted them up! Would Okocha be able to do the same? Why didn't Okocha did the same in other clubs?
I liked him but he has never been the most expensive player in the world. Unless the 15 mil he was worth in 1998 were more than the 27 mil paid by inter milan the year prior to get Ronaldo from Barcelona.
U right, most Africans greats lower their age to play soccer, same with Okocha. They just want to escape Poverty in their country. He knew Age was against em thats the reason he joined Bolton. He wasnt confident enough to play for d likes of Man u or Madrid. Age will always tell.....Age caught up with Ronaldinho, thats life
@@liviasparks821you are senseless, what has age got to do with his skills and style of play? You think it was easy for an African players to joined big clubs 20, 30 years ago? Okocha woukd have joined all tje big clubs today if he was born into these generation.
Seriously, sometimes I think you gringos learn football by the media or the internet, it's so weird. Okocha didn't "invent" these skills before everyone else, as a kid in Brazil most half decent kids (say top 20~10%) could peform these in the game... That aside, Okocha is indeed a genius
Nigeria 🇳🇬 In FIFA video games 🎮 back then could beat any team and it was 90% because of him! What more needs to be said?? Wish City would’ve signed him though! Imagine Anelka, Robbie Fowler, Wright-Phillips and Okocha attacking your goalie 🔥 sick 🤒
Comparing JJ and R9. Midfielder and a number 9. R9 is my goat but your comparison is stupid. Nobody asked you. And this post is not about the greatest striker of all time.
I just told you R9 is my favorite footballer of all time. Don't you understand English ? But this post is about okocha stop bringing up stupid comparison. How is R9 a topic in okocha's video ? Think. Use your fxkin brain.

In your dreams guys. Great joke! 😂
Messi is the best dribbler of all time.
good video but its one nil not one o
Ronaldinho got the kids playing futsbol so I think not 😅
Nigeria 🇳🇬 In FIFA video games 🎮 back then could beat any team and it was 90% because of him! What more needs to be said?? Wish City would’ve signed him though! Imagine Anelka, Robbie Fowler, Wright-Phillips and Okocha attacking your goalie 🔥 sick 🤒
Forget Okocha, Ronaldinho is the most influential dribbler of all time

Please let's be real, one won wo how many world cup did Ronaldinho win for brazil.
Amazing and legendary player but he still could not do what 100% R9 did.
Comparing JJ and R9. Midfielder and a number 9. R9 is my goat but your comparison is stupid. Nobody asked you. And this post is not about the greatest striker of all time.
@@whitedapoet Than you have no idea where R9 did play. yes maybe in fifa.
I just told you R9 is my favorite footballer of all time. Don't you understand English ? But this post is about okocha stop bringing up stupid comparison. How is R9 a topic in okocha's video ? Think. Use your fxkin brain.
R9 was always playing in the midfield... @@whitedapoet
Absolutely no big deal. Ronaldinho>>>okocha
If he were a white man
He would have had shrines built for him everywhere. He like Maradona and Pele
dont you dare say "forget Ronaldinho" idc if Okocha is that much better than him dont disrespect his name 🖕
