A thread about the latest 90s Hero, Jay-Jay Okocha: https://www.unibet.co.uk/blog/football/ligue-1/adam-hurrey%E2%80%99s-90s-heroes-jay-jay-okocha-%E2%80%93-the-master-of-one-step-free-kicks-whose-quality-trumped-the-quantity-1.1053087

A 19-year-old Okocha rocked up at Eintracht Frankfurt in 1992 and, while a pre-Leeds Tony Yeboah scored all the goals, he just did this:

...and this, his most notable early demonstration of being what the Germans call a Fummelkutte, at the considerable expense of a young, very annoyed Oliver Kahn.
"If he has the ball, everyone else can do the weekend shopping."

There was also this, which he really didn't do enough. Still, he'd only cost Eintracht about £10,000, so...

It took me an annoyingly long time to work out who he's mugging off for Nigeria at Wembley in 1994, but I *think* it's David Platt, Peter Beardsley AND Rob Lee in the space of about five seconds.

Then, in 1996, he went to Fenerbahce, got himself a Turkish passport with the name Muhammad Yavuz, and scored 32 goals in his first two seasons, including some one-step free kicks

Then he went to PSG in 1998 - kicking off their transfer policy of signing *58 players* in four years - where his goals starting getting really ridiculous...

....seriously, all of them.

ALL OF THEM

Then, obviously, there were The Bolton Years. Not sure why this goal isn't talked about more...

Then he went to Qatar, but "left after a year because nobody was coming to the stadium", so he signed for Hull, apparently with the sole purpose of doing this to Alex Bruce

Finally, let's enjoy the lyrics to his 1994 Eurodance single "I I Am Am Jay Jay":

Always amazing
In abilities, people call me crazy
It’s magic, not a tragic
Now every man is talking about Jay-Jay
