Augustine Azuka Okocha popularly known as Jay Jay Okocha was born in Enugu, Enugu State on August 14, 1973.
He is arguably the best Nigerian footballer of all time. He began playing football at a very young age, playing on the streets with makeshift balls which was where he developed some of the skills that made him the renowned footballer he is today.
Okocha’s professional football career began in 1990 when he joined Enugu Rangers.
It was during his time at the club that he produced many of the spectacular displays he is known for today. JJ Okocha was later signed by Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt in December 1991.
The ex-Super Eagles star continued to amaze the spectators with his spectacular display, dribbling skills and confidence with the ball.
Okocha was also good with goals to the extent that one of his goals was voted Goal of the Season by many soccer magazines.
