Okocha spent four years at Bolton. Alan Shearer recently named him as the 10th best African footballer to have ever played in the Premier League.

He said, per Manchester Evening News: "I think of him and I just think of someone who was happy. At Bolton, the players that they had there, that team was incredible.

"He was unbelievable. He didn't score that many goals though.

"With someone of his ability you'd expect him I think to have got more but in terms of entertainment and all that.

"They did remarkably well to get him there really. PSG I think they got him from, on a free, so great business from Bolton. A very good player."
