Organizer of the English topflight, Premier League, has celebrated legendary Nigeria skipper Austin Okocha.
The Premier League celebrated Okocha, who featured for Bolton Wanderers during his time in England, as part of its moves to commemorate the Black History Month.
A two minutes video of Okocha exhibiting his skills at Bolton was published on the Premier League’s Twitter handle.
“We’re celebrating iconic players from around the world who’ve starred in the #PL as part of #BlackHistoryMonth.”
Black History Month is the annual celebration and commemoration of moments in history, achievements and contributions that Black people have made.
First brought to the UK in the 1980s, Black History Month was initially introduced to the country by a member of the Greater London Council, Akyaaba Addai Sebo.
Since 1987, Black History Month has been celebrated annually in the UK, to eradicate discrimination and encourage racial equality.
