Former England defender, Danny Mills, has claimed that Nigerian football legend Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha never played Arsenal or Manchester United because he was a maverick
But Okocha never got to play for one of the biggest teams in the English topflight.
Mills believes those clubs didn’t know how to accomodate a player of his kind.
He told Complete Sports: “Can you imagine if he’d been in an Arsenal or at Man United of that time, you know, rather than Bolton, he could have been even better, you know, because, you know, better
How he wasn’t at one of those clubs [Arsenal, Man United, etc], I’m not quite sure.
“Maybe the fact that he was so maverick and was such an individual – maybe some of the top clubs looked at that and thought, ‘how do we accommodate him into a team’?
“But yeah, Jay-Jay Okocha was absolutely sensational,” he added
