During his press briefing on Monday, the new England Boss, Sam Allardyce declared that Jay Jay Okocha was his best ever Captain at club level. Big Sam, without hesitation said, "On and off the field, he was the captain you looked for. In a multinational side from all over the world, he could speak four different languages, communicate very well with some of the players who couldn't speak quite as good English.
"He sorted the odd scuffle out in the dressing room, talked to the players about how to go out and win. He'd take the Manager's instruction and apply them in the right way.
Then there was outstanding ability on the field, leading by example and showing everybody he wasn't a mercenary which was suggested in the beginning that he'd only come for the money. He became an iconic figure at Bolton wanderers.
