    Weytin azumah sabe about football?

  • Anago 7 years ago

    The facts suggest that Abedi is the best Ghanaian player of all time. Find me one player who has won more on an international level than Abedi. This guy singly handedly kept RTU in the league. SK4 is the closest I think.

    abedi won in 1982

  • Kobby Sarr 7 years ago

    The greatest footballer ever is Goalkeeper Robert Mensah. Apart of him, the rest, I think they are also good are Aggrey Fynn, Osei Kofi, Mohammad Polo, Abedi Pele, Emmanuel Quarshie ,Kuuku Dadzie and Joseph Carr

  • Owusu Acheaw. 7 years ago

    Prof,if the topic is about Ghana's ever best soccer player in the world then, Marcel D Odenkefio is the man.But if it's about those who performed for the home front also,then well.......

    Owusu - clearly you don't know your football that well. Abedi won the European Cup and was 3 times African Player of the year and won the Africa cup as a 16 year old in 1982 and Ghana colts player of the year for many a year. ...

  • Kofi 7 years ago

    I don't like him that much but i can't hide the truth.Abedi Pele to my opinion is the best.He was divisive to me which made me hate him but he is the best ever to me.

  • Kana wu 7 years ago

    Abedi pele is simply the best case close

  • Dallas 7 years ago

    Well I agree with you Kofi. I also wasn't his greatest fan because I believed he was divisive.

    But it is an undeniable fact that he was the best to wear the national jersey.

    I didn't see the likes of James Adjei, Aggr ...

    Yes, Abedi was a great football player but not the greatest. I think both Azumah and Abedi did not see the time of Baba Yara, Wilberforce Mfum, Osei Kofi and others. These were the players who put Ghana's name on the world fo ...

    In Ghana. Abedi has no challenger. Yara, Kwasi Owusu, Polo, Razak, Agyemang Gyau, Mfum, Osei Kofi etcetera were pretty good players but in my opinion, Abedi tops them all. It us a little awkward to compare the different e ...

    Azumah is totally wrong. How can you forget Razak Brimah (our #1 goalkeeper ). That is a big disservice to Razak Brimah. Let us all try to appreciate the excellent/unique contributtons of such an irreplaceable goalie
