Former Nigerian international Jay-Jay Okocha dazzled during a testimonial match back in 2016 to a point that Cameroonian legend Samuel Eto’o called on the opposing bench to replace the master dribbler.

Jay-Jay, who was given the moniker ‘so good they named him twice’, had a remarkable career as he featured for Fenerbahce, Paris Saint-Germain and English club Bolton Wanderers.

He was part of Sam Allardyce’s team between 2002 and 2006 and the pair recently reunited to recreate a dancing celebration.

Okocha’s club career ended following a second spell in England when he featured for Hull City in 2006, however, eight years later, he starred in a testimonial game.

The former Super Eagles captain, who was 42 at the time, featured in Joseph Yobo's testimonial and he impressed so much that the opponents had to call for him to be replaced.

SPORTbible reports that John Terry, Kolo Toure, Yaya Toure, Aaron Mokoena, Kanu Nwankwo, Andre Ayew were involved in the game alongside Eto’o and Okocha.

On the other hand, Yobo was part of his XI against Super Eagles XI as David Moyes was in charge of the team, having managed the former Nigerian defender at Everton.

It was a star-studded encounter, but Okocha clearly stole the show making fools out of the opposition with all his tricks and flicks.
