A heartwarming video has surfaced on social media showcasing former Super Eagles captain Austin Jay-Jay Okocha exhibiting his exceptional skills during a charity match alongside fellow retired footballers.
Okocha, renowned for his impressive style of play, particularly in midfield, was widely regarded as one of the finest midfielders during his playing career.
Many Nigerians would feel reassured when Okocha graced the pitch for the Super Eagles in the past, well aware of the incredible capabilities possessed by the former Bolton captain.
In a video spotted on Twitter, Okocha was seen in front of former Barcelona star Ronaldinho dribbling two players before firing the ball over Rene Higuita in goal.
Roberto Carlos was left helpless
After receiving the pass from Ronaldinho, Okocha first expertly dispatched Roberto Carlos before dribbling two more players and then scoring.
Fans were impressed that the Nigerian legend could still exhibit brilliant skills on the pitch after he retired from football years ago.
Okocha’s goals for Super Eagles
The 49-year-old played 73 games for the Super Eagles between 1993-2006 and scored 14 goals. He was among the Nigerian players that won the 1994 African Cup of Nations.
