On the occasion of April Fool
’s day, ex Tottenham Hotspur striker Roman Pavlyuchenko was reminiscing about some of the funny stories he heard while playing in England.
Though
the Russia international never played against Austin Okocha in the
English Premier League, he recalled that Jiří Jarošík, ex Chelsea
midfielder, told him a joke about the former Super Eagles skipper.

“Jarošík,
who played in Chelsea, explained to us about English humor. I remember him telling us that Okocha
invested in a Nigerian bank that collapsed, all he accumulated
disappeared. " “And the players of Bolton chipped in for him 10 pounds each , ” Roman Pavlyuchenko was quoted as saying by championat.com.
