Fans Revive Okocha’s 137-Shot Goalless Premier League Record After Ronaldo Comment

Jay-Jay Okocha has drawn criticism after saying Cristiano Ronaldo is primarily a goalscorer, while describing Lionel Messi as a more complete and artistic footballer. The remarks, made on John Obi Mikel’s podcast, prompted fans to revisit Okocha’s 2003/04 Premier League campaign for Bolton Wanderers. Opta recorded that he had 137 shots without scoring a league goal that season, a record for the most attempts without a goal in a single Premier League season. Supporters used the statistic to question Okocha’s criticism of Ronaldo’s output. Others defended the former Super Eagles captain, noting his creativity and role in helping Bolton reach the 2004 League Cup final.
