Go Nigeria!
Nigerian footballer Jay Jay Okocha is listed as one of World Cup’s 100 footballers of all time. The list released today Tuesday 27th May 2014
19 tournaments, 80 years, hundreds of
teams, and thousand of players. A panel of international experts
selected the top 100 footballers in the World Cup history.
The 40-year-old Enugu born striker was listed as number 78.
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.”
Thomas N’Kono of Cameroon is the only other African on the list so far.
