The Nigerian Football Association, Eintracht Frankfurt, Bolton Wanderers and the entire sports fraternity sent birthday wishes to ex-Nigerian midfielder, Austin 'Jay Jay' Okocha as he turns 47 years.
In a tweet via Twitter, The Nigerian Football Association wrote:
“Happy birthday to the magical @IAmOkocha. Too good he was named twice. Have a good one legend!” The NFF wrote.
Bolton Wanderers described Okocha a magician.
“Happy 47th Birthday to the Nigerian Magician, @IAmOkocha.
“Have a great day, Jay-Jay!”
While Eintracht Frankfurt hailed the former Eagles skipper as a true legend of the club.
“Today: 47th birthday of a true Eintracht legend!”
Born in Enugu, Enugu State, Okocha joined 1. FC Saarbrücken, but stayed only a few months with the Bundesliga 2 side before a move to Eintracht Frankfurt in the German top flight.
In 1996, Okocha joined Turkish club Fenerbahçe for approximately £1 million following Eintracht Frankfurt’s relegation to the 2. Bundesliga. In his two seasons with Fenerbahce, he scored goals in 62 appearances.
