Legendary English Commentator Peter Drury was lost for words as he described Jay-Jay Okocha.

The famous football commentator was full of admiration for the Super Eagles legend as he revealed his favourite commentary line on Okocha.

The British sports commentator disclosed that the famous 'he was too good they named him twice' was his best description of the former Super Eagles legend.

Drury further described the ex-Bolton Wanderers captain as an entertainer, a joggler, a conjurer and a dancer.

"He played with a smile, he was an entertainer, a joggler and a conjurer. A dancer.

"The great commentary line on him was he was so good they named him twice.

"He played for Bolton who are not winner but they qualified for Europe under Sam Allardyce.

“When he was there, you didn’t need floodlights. He lit the place up.”

Okocha had a successful spell in the English Premier League with Bolton Wanderers from 2002 to 2006.

The 49-year-old also had spells with other European clubs like Eintracht Frankfurt, Fenerbahçe and Paris Saint Germain.
