"He is nicknamed Jay Jay for his entertaining and flamboyant style of play." - can anyone elaborate on the reason why his style of play would lead to the choice of "Jay Jay" as a nickname? I can't see the connection myself.... ChrisTheDude 12:21, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I have heard commetators say he is so good they named him twice so that could be part of the nickname but dont know where the Jay came from to start with. Roosterrulez 17:03, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Any word on where's he moving once his Bolton contract expires? Rogerthat ^Talk 06:21, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added the second Jay?

Never heard that, but the year is certainly wrong. He was definitely already known as "Jay Jay" when he first played for Eintracht in 92. Lewis Trondheim 21:54, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date of Birth

I heard that no one (including himself) actually knows his date of birth, he just has an official date of birth. Anyone know if this is true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.65.209.85 (talk) 00:22, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
