QUOTES BY Jay-Jay Okocha


I don't mind if we play ugly and win, as long as we win.

Education from six-year-old to 14 is compulsory in Nigeria, but the simple fact is that a lack of resources, coupled with peoples' inability to afford books and uniforms mean the reality for millions of Nigerian children is a life without education.

Leaving the stage would pave the way for younger players to come up too.

I've trained my whole life to be a winner and if I know two things it's that to be the best takes passion and persistence.

Preparing well for a tournament sometimes is not enough to win it as you also need a lot of luck in order to win.

I have been following the Premier League very closely because once you have been a footballer you have an affinity with the game.

I realized at a very young age that I had a gift to do special things with the ball.

I think I maximised my opportunity at Bolton, changing the mindset of the people from when I arrived till the time I left.

I love showing off my skills on the pitch. You can make opposing players look stupid.
