“I am happy to once again see these former Stars. It is a big honour for me especially with the invite they have given to me, and I also promised to do all I can to support them in their upcoming event,” he said.

“I will surely be there to give them the necessary support. I was with them two years ago when a similar thing was organized so definitely I will be there thing time around too.

The Group last week paid a courtesy call to ex-President John Kuffour who also promised to grace the occasion.

A fund raising dinner will be held at the Sunlodge hotel on December 3 with a football match between Ghana giants Asante Kotoko and the Black Stars 1992 silver winning team climaxing the event at the Accra Sports Stadium.
