I’m Hearts of Oak greatest captain – Amankwah Mireku brags

Former Ghanaian international Yaw Amankwah Mireku says he is the greatest player to have ever captained Accra Hearts of Oak.

Speaking on Kumasi-based Kessben FM, Yaw Amankwah Mireku stated that he is the greatest Hearts of Oak captain in the history of the club.

“Hearts of Oak have never had a player of my caliber since its inception. I can say that I have been the greatest captain since 1911. I played an integral role in winning the CAF Champions League, Confederation Cup, Super Cup, six league titles among others. No player has achieved that in the club’s history”, Amankwah Mireku said on Kessben FM.
