Jay Jay Okocha made appearance at the Emirates on Sunday and was a big attraction for fans outside the stadium.
Okocha was in the company of Chuba Iwobi, his nephew’s – Alex Iwobi – father, as they made their way to see Arsenal’s pre-season friendly against Olympique Lyon.
The former Eagles and Bolton Wanderers captain was obviously a recognizable figure and frequently stopped for pictures by fans.
At some point the 45 year-old appeared embarrassed by the amount of attention he had attracted, he pulled his sweat shirt over his face to hide his identity.

To the game proper, Arsenal lost at the Emirates 2-1 against Lyon in the pre-season competition.
Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang opened scoring in the first half, after 35 minutes, but the Ligue Un side responded through Moussa Dembele.
The former Celtics player scored again to grab a brace and helped his side to their first ever win against Arsenal.
