Speaking to the issues of why the Ex footballers don’t get involved in Football activities in the country especially those who are still active in football but in a different capacity after retirement from active play.
“some of the players were not treated fairly, someone like Michael Essien, Ghanaian didn’t treat him well. If I have to be honest, some of us didn’t treat him well from my point of view. When Essien was at his peak at Chelsea, he comes to the national team even with injuries, some of the fans should have rubbished the play on his face, but When you checked Essien’s profile, he is very quiet and Knowledgeable like Stephen Appiah. These are the people who can help Ghana Football “.
