During a recent interview with UK Mirror, the England new Boss, Sam Allardyce was asked who has been his greatest captain ever on clubs level ... Below is what he had to say:
“Jay Jay Okocha. On and off the field he was the captain you looked for.
"In a multi-national side from all over the world he could speak four different languages, communicate very well with some of the players who couldn't speak quite as good English.
“He sorted the odd scuffle out in the dressing room, talked to the players about how we had to go out and win. He'd take the manager's instructions and apply them in the right way.
“Then there was outstanding ability on the field, leading by example and showing everybody he wasn't a mercenary which was suggested in the beginning, that he'd only come for the money. He became an iconic figure at Bolton Wanderers.”
