In the Special Series of reminding of the exploits of all Icons expected in Ghana next month we begin with the  Augustine Azuka Okocha

 "Jay-Jay" Okocha born 14 August 1973 is a Nigerian former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.

A quick and skilful playmaker, who is widely regarded as the best Nigerian player of his generation and one of the greatest African players of all time, Okocha was known for his confidence, technique, creativity, and dribbling skills, as well as his use of feints, in particular the stepover.

Due to his skill, he was described as being 'so good that they named him twice' (a line immortalised in a terrace chant while Okocha played for Bolton Wanderers).[5]

He is a dual Nigerian-Turkish citizen, having acquired Turkish citizenship as "Muhammet Yavuz" while playing for Süper Lig team Fenerbahçe.
