May 9th is one of the saddest days of my life - Adja Tetteh

Former Hearts of Oak midfielder Adja Tetteh has described the May 9th stadium disaster as one of saddest days of his career.

Over 126 soccer fans lost their lives in a stampede which occurred when Hearts of Oak clashed with Asante Kotoko in 2001.

It has been described as Africa's worst soccer disaster till date and midfielder Adja Tetteh who was a key member of the Hearts of Oak set-up says the day still has scars on him.

“I remember the day as if it was yesterday and I must say 9th May is one of my saddest days of life,” Adja Tetteh told Citi-sports

“I remember the goals because I was involved in the second one and Ishmael Addo got both goals for us.”

“It’s already fifteen years since then but we should ensure that it never happens again.”
