Nigerian football legend, Augustine Azuka Okocha commonly known as Jay-Jay Okocha, has celebrated his marriage of 25 years with his wife, Nkechi Okocha.
The former Super Eagles international shared heartwarming photos of himself and his wife on the photo and video-sharing platform Instagram on Wednesday, December 4.
“Happy 25th wedding Anniversary to the wife of my youth,” the former Bolton Wanderers attacking midfielder said.
Okocha, 49, married 50-year-old Nkechi in 1997, a year after leaving the German side Eintracht Frankfurt and the union has produced beautiful kids.
A quick, talented, and skilful playmaker, Okocha usually played as an attacking midfielder and is widely considered by certain pundits internationally as the best Nigerian footballer ever, and as one of the best African players of all time.
Okocha was known for his confidence and trickery with the ball, technique, creativity, flair, close control, and dribbling skills, as well as his turn of pace and his use of feints, in particular the stepover and his trademark turns.
In late 2014 Okocha was added to the FIFA football game series as a “Legend” which honours his years as a great footballer.
In 2015, Okocha was elected as the Chair of the Delta State Football Association. He is a nephew of Alex Iwobi, who plays for Everton and Nigeria.
