The astute football administrator Alhaji Franco, when asked to describe the player he once managed, described him as a very hardworking and humble player who also never joked with his fitness.
“I was happy when I heard about his retirement, the Zaytuna Owner said. “He’s retired too early. I believe he still has a lot to give. Football is about age, and he’s aging now, so it is understandable,” he told Max FM.
“He is a natural goal scorer, and everyone was awestruck by his talent when he joined us on loan from Liberty Professionals. He was so good that he earned a call-up to the national team even before playing in the Ghana Premier League.” He added
Asamoah Gyan announced his retirement from football after enjoying a career that spanned close to two decades. He scored 216 goals in 417 appearances for the 11 club teams he played for, and he was also the highest-scoring player in the history of the Black Stars, netting 51 times in 109 caps.
