"My only regret is not winning African footballer of
the year' Jay Jay Okocha
When asked about any regret as a
footballer, legendary footballer Austin 'Jay Jay' Okocha said;
"If I have any regret that
would be not winning The African Footballer of the Year. But then, I don't
think I was meant to because I gave my best, but at the end, it wasn't good
enough. However, I had a fantastic playing career"
When asked why no other footballer
has been able to fill the vacuum of the No.10 position he left behind, Okocha
replied;
"I don't want to sound arrogant
but the truth it that there is something special about me. Sometimes, you have
special players in a squad, when you lose them, it will take like five to ten
years to get another set of such players. Not that the people trying to fill
the vacuum are not good, they are great in their own way, but they are not just
special. With time, Nigeria will get the special one that will fill the vacuum
I left
We love Jay Jay..
