TheGuardian conducted a survey of those that should rank among top 100 footballers in the
world and Nigeria's Jay Jay Okocha was the list's number 78th choice......awesome!
The list was compiled from 19 tournaments, 80 years, hundreds of teams, thousands of players and a panel of international experts .
Jacob Steinberg of Guardian says “So good they named him twice. Jay-Jay Okocha was a wonderfully original footballer, capable of taking the breath away with the kinds of improvisational skill that was beyond the majority of players: at times, he seemed to be inventing new tricks as he went along. Despite his undoubted quality, he perhaps lacked a crucial level of consistency or decisiveness that might have elevated him to the top, although he did help Nigeria reach the second round twice.”
Congrats JayJay!
