According to statistics, in this 21st century, no player has scored more goals in the Tanzanian Premier League than John Bocco.
Bocco is a player who is probably not given as much respect as he should
Apart from the records he made while serving Azam Fc, since joining Simba in all four seasons he has scored not less than nine goals in every season
Last season, Bocco emerged as the top scorer after scoring 16 goals despite being sidelined for several months at the start of the season suffering from injuries
His first goal of the season was in Mbeya as his team thrashed Ihefu FC 2-1 and made him write the history of scoring every season
The tall striker started playing in the Mainland Premier League in 2008 when he promoted Azam and stayed with them for nine seasons before moving to Simba four seasons ago and all seasons he has been scoring goals.
Records show that, in his first season he scored just one goal, but after getting used to the league he was scoring as much as he could, despite some seasons plagued by long-term injuries
The injuries that kept him away from his goal-scoring prowess, but the total number of goals he has scored in his 14 seasons are 139
The number of Bocco goals per season is as follows in 2008-2009 (1 goal), 2009-2010 (14), 2010-2011 (12), 2011-2012 (19), 2012-2013 (7 ), 2013-2014 (7) and in the current season he won his first Premier League title with Azam.
His other goals are for the 2014-2015 (2), 2015-2016 (12), 2016-2017 (10) season which was the last with Azam before moving to Simba 2017-2018 and scoring 16 goals and the season 2018-2019 scored 14, 2019-20 season scored nine goals and last season 2020-21 scored 16 goals
