Jay Jay Okocha just started a serious debate. The Nigerian icon claims this AFCON 2025 Super Eagles squad wouldn't stand a chance against the team that won Olympic gold.
Cole also picked David Beckham’s right foot, Denis Irwin’s left foot, Gareth Bale’s speed, Didier Drogba’s big moment ability and his goal collection as part of his criteria in building the perfect Premier League player.
While he played with Beckham and Irwin at Man Utd, Cole never played with Okocha, which shows that he rates the former Super Eagles captain very highly.
Okocha- the talented genius
The ex-Paris Saint-Germain midfielder was the only player whose skills were picked twice by Cole, which is a testament to Okocha’s abilities as a player.

Adebayor crowns Salah over Drogba, Jay Jay Okocha, and Mikel as African Premier League GOAT
The debate is raging: Is it the numbers that make you the GOAT, or the moments and trophies? One thing's certain, Adebayor just made sure this conversation isn't ending anytime soon.
Okocha remains one of the most talented players to play the beautiful game. The ex-Nigerian international is known for his flair, skills and trickery on the ball, which often left opponents embarrassed.

Although he never played with Cole, Okocha spent four years in the Premier League with Bolton Wanderers, where he cemented himself as a cult hero and a club legend.
He made 124 Premier League appearances for the Trotters, scoring 14 goals and registering 11 assists. The 1994 AFCON winner also led the team to the League Cup final, although Bolton lost to Middlesbrough.
