    This listing excluded Baffuor Gyan. The big brother of Asamoah Gyan. He was the only non Phobia player in the squad. He started and played over 60 minutes of the game.

    ALFRED PAPPOE IF YOU ARE HUNGRY FIND FOOD TO EAT AND STOP MAKING USELESS NOISE. YOU CAN GO AND BEG FOR FOOD OR CATCH MICE, ITS FREE!

  • Kofi, USA 2 years ago

    Alfred Pappoe, ease up.
    Should we be consumed by the economic mess of today? Absolutely not. Even the great depression of 1943, life went on for America and the world.
    Tough times don't last, tough be do.

    You are all wrong. Accra Great Olympics was the first to represent the Black Stars. They beat Togo to win the Independence cup for Ghana. That was in 1960. So why the hulabaloo
