The compilation of the Nigerian maverick has attracted a lot of attention on social media in recent days and after watching it the whole way through, it's easy to understand why it's delivered huge numbers on Twitter.

The skills on show from Okocha throughout the video look like clips from FIFA Street, that's how good they are.

Incredible Okocha compilation goes viral

Genius, pure genius from a footballer who embodied the cliche 'the beautiful game'.

The ball just seemed to be glued to Okocha's feet and the way he was then able to manipulate it with an array of flicks and tricks was nothing short of remarkable.

Ronaldinho and Neymar are perhaps the only two footballers in the modern era who can match the Nigerian icon's skill level.

Of course, what sets those two apart from Okocha is their success in other areas of the game, with both scoring way more goals and winning far more trophies.
