If that is the case then u or ur father and everyone in your family deserve a state funeral. What a bush way to think.....u want to compare him and his achievement to jones?

That has been our gripe all along.Jones was a great local coach but did nothing of national prominence to deserve a state funeral. NAME ONE NATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT WHICH QUALIFIERS HIM FOR A STATE FUNERAL.

Minimizing the accomplishments of those who have put in their blood, sweat ad tears to lift Ghana higher will not take you one step ahead in life's endeavors. What do you call a Ghanaian who is voted African football coach of the year? How many Ghanaians have achieved this feat. How many Ghanaians have played for Black Stars, lifted the AFCON, coached the national team, coached local clubs and also lifted several continental titles while at it? Even Ibrahim Sunday's resume can not match that of Sir Cecil. Ghanaians must remember to revere and also honour our heroes who have lifted our national pride and blazed glorious paths of excellence for many of us to tread. Please do your homework.

I met this man in Washington, DC, USA when I migrated here. I knew of his tremendous soccer skills in the good old days in Ghana and some short-lived professional play here with the Washington, DC Diplomats (a football club at that time).

He went to University in New Jersey and later became a bank manager in the Washington, DC metropolitan area before returning home for good. In short, he contributed his quota to Ghana's football development, to himself, his family, his country and the kingdom he became a traditional chief of.

"MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE"!!

The man asked a simple question and made an innocent observation about the similarities between the two men, did that really warrant the insults to his mother? Let me chime in with a question of my own.Are they going to give Agyemang Gyan a state funeral too as they are doing for Atoqyuafio? If not, why?

ASAMANKESE AND MALLAM, BECAUSE HE REALLY ASKED STUPID QUESTIONS.

2 GUYS WON AFCON IN 1965.
DO YOU HAVE TO ASK IF THEY WERE TEAMMATES? THAT'S A STUPID QUESTION. YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW THIS. YOU JUST HAVE TO REASON IT. IT'S SO EASY TO REASON OUT.

YES, THEY WERE TEAMMATES!

THE SAME GUYS, IN THEIR 70s, DIED IN THE SAME WEEK. THEY LIVED IN DIFFERENT CITIES. THEY DIED AT DIFFERENT HOSPITALS.

YOU DID NOT HEAR OF ANYONE ATTACKING THEM SIMULTANEOUSLY, YET YOU CHOSE TO ASK IF THEIR DEATHS WERE A COINCIDENCE?

YES, THEY WERE A COINCIDENCE!

ARE THEY GOING TO GIVE GYAU TOO A STATE BURIAL? WE DON'T KNOW YET.

BUT THAT ONE IS A GOOD QUESTION BECAUSE IT DOES NOT LEND ITSELF TO AN ANSWER JUST BY READING THE STORY, SO MALLAM, DON'T BE STUPID!

He asked a stupid question so you should insult his mother? What's the mom got to do with that? Got a mom, idiot? Where is she, nitwit? Probably in the whorehouse, thug? Go look for your prostitute mom, fool!!

This legend was not just a great footballer. He was a good accountant, selfless individual who in spite of his good financial standing still advocated for the poor folks in the association to be cared for. Unlike any other footballer he took advantage of the U.S educational system and educated himself and his family. Right after school, he came back home and served the nation as coach of B/A Unite, a member of the governing board of the Bank of Ghana, a founder and the President of the Old Players of Ghana Football and as Attpimhene of the Berekum Traditonal Council. Besides that, he was very decorous with his speech and humble in facet of his life in spite of wealth and position. Nana some of us the younger have learnt a lot from your Humility and gentility. May your gentle soul rest in peace.

Please check your facts. Agyeman Gyau was not a defender. He played in the No. 10 role or as a left winger both for the national team and BA United. He was a delight to watch on the ball!!

Agyeman Gyau was a cherubic left winger. When Ohene Gyan created the Black Stars team B called The New Horizon, Agyeman Gyau was the speedy left winger. His speed was next only to Ofei Dodoo and Frank VC 10 Odoi.

He was enlisted by Ohene Gyan to join Accra Real Republikans and escaped serious injury in that horrible accident at Kpeve that ended Baba Yara's career.

When Gyamfi dissolved the smoke and fire, razzle - dazzle Black Stars, Agyeman Gyau, Jones Attuquafio, Willie Evans, Osei Kofi, Gibirine, Joe Aikins, Naawu and others became the new Black Stars in 1965. REST IN PEACE.

The old Black Stars players are being called home.This drums the message of the Bible to all people of the world that,there is time for everything under this heaven, time to be born and time to die and therefore every living human being on this earth should be prepared to meet the heavenly father when he leaves this world.Cecil Attuquqifio is gone followed by Agyeman Gyau which has synchronized the sadness of the Ghanaian fooball family to the extend of singing a cynchronized dirges. May his soul rest in peace.

Yes over a year late I see these comments about MY FATHER. Impersonators claiming to be his son? For one he was BELOVED & had his grand 3 day celebration of his life in August 2015 in Berekum in his home village in Akrofo. I WAS HOME. MY SISTERS WERE HOME. Phillip was home but only attended the first day of service. My sister & I were just HOME in May 2016 for my Dad's one year anniversary. PROOF: IF YOU HAVE ANY SOCIAL MEDIA SUCH AS INSTAGRAM YOU CAN CHECK MY PAGE FOR THE TRUTH. (@LP_7_ is the page so that you know this is his REAL SON) Thank you to those who left kind comments & to those who felt the need to lie & slander will get your due justice.
