The Federation Internationale de Football Association(FIFA), has celebrated the former Nigerian professional footballer, Austin Jay-Jay Okocha on his birthday. 

Taking to their official Twitter page on Saturday, the 14th of August, FIFA described Jay-Jay as one of the most electrifying players in football history.

They also compared him to Brazilian retired professional footballer and former teammate, Ronaldinho.

Happy Birthday to Africa’s equivalent of @10Ronaldinho and one of the most electrifying players in football history.

Okocha is regarded as one of the most talented players out of Africa and played in several countries, including Paris Saint-Germain where he spent four years. He joined Paris Saint-Germain in 1998 in a £12.4m deal which was the highest by an African player at that time.
