EX-SUPER EAGLES CAPTAIN JAY JAY OKOCHA MARKS 25TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY WITH PICS

The 48-year-old ex-footballer who played 73 times for the Nigeria’s national team between 1993 and 2006, scoring 14 times, and was a member of three FIFA World Cup squads, is regarded as one of the greatest African football players.

The couple tied the knot in 1997, and the union has produced two children named Daniella and A-Jay.

Okocha spent about thirteen years with the Nigerian national side and won the 1994 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) with the Super Eagles.

He featured in five AFCON tournaments for the three-time African champions and was part of the Olympic gold medal-winning side in 1996. The midfield maestro, renowned for his skills, also won the BBC African footballer of the year on three occasions.
