Former Nigeria and PSG star Jay-Jay Okocha picks Ghana's Samuel Kuffuor for special accolade

Nigeria legend Augustine 'Jay-Jay' Okocha has named former Ghana international Samuel Osei Kuffour as the toughest defender face during his playing days.

The erstwhile Super Eagles captain and playmaker Okocha is regarded by many as one the most naturally gifted African players to have played the beautiful game.

He is also fondly remembered for his days in the English Premier League with Bolton Wanderers and Hull City, his time in France with PSG and his spell with German outfit Eintracht Frankfurt.

It was during his spell in Germany where he, on a number of occasions, came up against Kuffour, who played for giants Bayern Munich between 1993 and 2005.
