Soccer greats, Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, Ronaldinho and Carlos Valderrama met recently and they all had one thing in common, the No 10 jersey.

Ronaldinho, Okocha and Valderrama

The meeting turned out to be a time for bonding and reminiscing as Ronaldinho revealed that he has always admired both Nigeria’s Okocha and Colombia’s Carlos Valderrama.

The Brazil great made this known in a tweet which he captioned “Só camisa 10 que sempre admirei. @iamokocha e @PibeValderramaP” meaning “Only 10 shirt I’ve always admired @iamokocha and @PibeValderramaP” .

Ronaldinho and Austin Jay-Jay Okocha were team-mates at French side PSG between 2001 and 2002, where the former understudied the latter and most likely learnt some of his mesmerizing skills and dribbles.
