Okon wore the Australia armband in 24 of his 28 full internationals, a sweeper who brought the ball out of defence rather than hitting it long, and Dino Zoff signed him for Lazio in 1996 on the back of that. Club Brugge gave him the Belgian Golden Shoe, the 1995/96 league and cup double, a second Belgian Cup the year before, three Supercups and Oceania Footballer of the Year in 1996. Career record: 28 caps and 0 goals for Australia; club career at Marconi Stallions, Club Brugge K.V., KV Oostende.
