The crazy things about this game:

1) It was a CHAMPIONS LEAGUE game - yet Okocha was doing tricks like he was having a kickabout in the back garden with his kids.

2) This was the season that Man U lost its unbeaten home record in European competitions (which had stood for 40 years) - to Okocha and Uche's Fenerbahce team. The goalscorer was the same Elvir Bolic who scored in this game v Rapid Vienna.

3) What position was Okocha playing in?! He was wandering all over the pitch from left, right, to middle.

4) Poor Trifon Ivanov (Vienna defender) also played in the Bulgaria team that Nigeria tanked 3-0 at the 1994 World Cup. He must have been sick of the sight of Nigerian footballers.

Ivanov passed away a few years ago.
