Jay Jay Okocha was one of the greatest players ever to come out of Africa.He went on to have a successful career in England,Turkey,Germany and France.Playing for clubs such as Bolton Wanderers and PSG.
Okocha joined Eintracht Frankfurt in 1992, where he linked up with many well-known players
including Ghanaian international striker Tony Yeboah and later Thomas Doll. He continued to shine for the German side, one highlight being a goal he scored against Karlsruhe, dribbling in the penalty box and slotting the ball past Oliver Kahn even going past some players twice. The goal was voted Goal of the Season by many soccer magazines. In 1995, Okocha, Yeboah and Maurizio Gaudino were all involved in a feud with manager Jupp Heynckes, which led to their departure from the club.
Yeboah and Gaudino later left for England, while Okocha stayed until the end of the season when Frankfurt were relegated to the Second division, before signing for Istanbul club Fenerbahçe.
