That was a golden generation
Hearts should have had an academy at that time. The problem of most Africans is that we don't think of maintaining a particular momentum into the foreseeable future. We only think about what we could get just for today. Very ...

@Kelvin Hearts hard an academy back then (Arouras), they still have it, don't they?
Hmmm I don't think it was something serious. At least they didn't maintain it.

Hearts would have bitten Nigeria in that game, but for fielding Baffour Gyan which destroyed the chemistry at the time physically and spiritually.
Yes blacks we don't know how to build on success.
Prince Tagoe wasn’t part
Where is goalkeeper Sammy Adjei.
What about Stephen Tetteh, Agyengo, Charles Allotey, Charles Taylor, Edmond Copson, Jacob Nettey , and the list goes on ....
@silent thinker. U are right those were the guys. Writer's list mixed up. How could he have forgotten Don Bortey, Charles Taylor etc
Bortey came after the 2000 triumphs. But he scored the most beautiful goal in Cape Town against Santos in 2004 during the CAF Confederation Cup competition.
And even the likes Agyogu, James Nanor, Charles Allotey, Stephen Tetteh, Edmund Copson, etc
Why do u want to post the 64 batallions picture in black & white, it was in the 2000's not like Kotoko that claimed they won the 4 aside club competitions twice in the 1940's.
There was no Luis Agyemang... He came later. It was Ishmael addo sho spearheaded the attack with don bortey and Charles Taylor In the wings. Emmanuel osei kuffour paired with Ismael. Agyemang Duah was at the heat of defence.
Some of the names you stated were not part of the 64 battalion
Yes, some were not members of the 64 Battalion. Better research next time.
The best time of Accra Hearts of Oaks was the 1972-78 era of The Winsome 5. The good old days of Mohamed Polo, Anas Seidu, Adolf Ammah and co. That was the glory days of soccer in Ghana. We had no expensive academies but got ...

I think it was fearsome five
Anas Seidu Robert Hammond mama acquah Mohammed polo and adolf armah or nketsia yawson
I forgot but I’m not sure about adolf and yawson
I stand corrected
Peter Lamptey wss part of the fearsome five. Adolf was midfield
The fearsome 5 included Douglas Tagoe
Back in the days hearts of oak had the fearsome 5.
They won every game that came their way.
The goalkeeper was Sammy 'Bathez' Adjei, whose heroics in the first leg of the final in Tunis enabled Hearts of Oak to beat Esperance 2-1, breaking the then 17-year old home invincibility of Esperance du Tunis.
True @Opoku Nti
Hearts was winning matches because of that Krobo guy E.T Mensah. He made sure he scuttled the advancement of Kotoko to the advantage of Hearts of Oaks. Nobody was invited into the Black Stars team unless you played for Hearts ...

Hearts of Oak in the 1970s to 1975. Watched all matches played in Accra. You board a boneshaker tro-tro to the stadium and you might walk home after the match, crowds. You knew Hearts would win at home very very dominant.
The writer is talking about the confederation cup squad and not the 64 battalion.He should do his homework well
True
Wrong headline
Exactly. He's midinforming the public. The picture and names were for 2004. But that squad was also brutal. In fact they played the whole of the 2003 league without losing a match, but didn't win the league.
Unless this ignorant writer has coined the squad as 64 Battalion, it has nothing to do with the year 1964. How can you associate of 1997 and 2005 achievements of 1997 and 2005 with these names mentioned and call it 64 Battali ...
