Jay-Jay Okocha's escape act for Bolton takes off on day one
The throwback clip is tagged for the 2026/27 season like any fresh highlight, and it became the official channel's fastest starter just two days after a show of respect led the way.

Jay-Jay Okocha Was A Baller 🇳🇬
A Nigerian flag and a five-word verdict: "Jay-Jay Okocha Was A Baller 🇳🇬" is the busiest new video on the Premier League's official channel, and it is not from this season.
A new upload here usually has a first day in the tens of thousands of views. This one started at nearly fourteen times that pace and was already close to half a million within a day. It did this on a channel that draws millions of views daily across its whole library.
The clip is a single moment. The description says Okocha used his skill to get Bolton out of a tricky spot against Arsenal. Okocha joined Bolton in 2002 and later captained the club, and his step-overs and flicks inspired the terrace line that he was so good they named him twice. Before he came to England, he won Olympic gold with Nigeria in 1996.
Two days ago the channel's standout was a gesture of respect from a current match. This time it is a playmaker from twenty years ago, filed in the tags under 2026/27 like any new highlight.
