Super Eagles legend, Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha clocks 47
Nigerian football legend, Austin ”Jay Jay” Okocha is celebrating a new age, as he clocked 47 today, 14th August.
The former Super Eagles playmaker, according to Wikipedia, was born on the 14th of August 1973 in Enugu State.
The nickname Jay-Jay was passed down from his elder brother James, who started playing football first; his immediate elder brother, Emmanuel was also called Emma Jay-jay, but the name stuck with Okocha instead.
He began playing football on the streets just like many other football stars, usually with a makeshift ball.
