Okocha Shames CAF (04.05.2004)
Daily Champion (Lagos)
AFTER losing the 2003 African Footballer of the Year award to Samuel Eto`o in controversial circumstances, Friday night in Yaounde, Cameroun, Super Eagles captain Austin Okocha, Sunday, showed CAF crowned the wrong man, following his sensational Premiership outing for Bolton against Leeds United.
The Trotters, well aided by Okocha`s beautiful connections, rounded up Leeds 4-1 at The Reebok stadium to shoot-up to the seventh position on the table fueling hope of a continental ticket next season.
Mark Viduka scored from the spot to put Leeds in the lead in the 26th minute but their victory dance only lasted for two minutes as Youri Djorkaeff drew level off Okocha`s clever pass. The Frenchman was again on song in the 58 minute. Ian Harte got the third while Kevin Nolan
completed the show through another killer pass from Okocha.
The Eagles midfield maestro who doubles as Bolton`s skipper disclosed two days before the CAF award ceremony in Yaounde that he would not be available because the game against Leeds meant very much to his dream of featuring in a UEFA competition next season.
Although many within and outside the continent expressed the opinion that the Bolton talisman was the most suitable of the three shortlisted for the crown, Eto`o eventually got CAF`s nod.
At Fratton park, Yakubu Aiyegbeni`s Portsmouth were held 1-1 by Fulham while Isaac Okoronkwo Wolves were sent packing from their Premiership. Despite beating compatriot Joseph Yobo`s Everton 2-1 at Molineux.
However, Everton are still much within the relegation zone just as Portsmouth.
