This game did mark the retirement of Agustine Azuka "Jay-Jay" Okocha from International Football. Okocha was/is a wizard with the ball and a member of the FIFA 100 (a list of the 125 greatest living footballers selected by Pelé). Watching a Super Eagles game will never be the same.

I found this tribute clip on Google Video. Jay-Jay is simply the best!
