It’s sad because of the contacts that we have and the people we can pick phones and call, when I mention names, you will be shocked,” he said on Sompa TV. “At times we don’t get the chance, I mean the legends, former players, we don’t get the chance. “I have learnt something, football is run by footballers, it is not about English or the grammar. It is all about wisdom”. He added.
“When I went to Italy, I didn’t understand Italian but when the coach communicates I get it. I hope that one day if not Stephen Appiah, one of the ex-footballers will be wholly involved in the administration of football. We have the contacts. Some of us are humble and if you know your value you don’t worry yourself about some things,” he told Sompa FM in Ghana.
