I regret playing for Hearts -Edmund Copson

One of Accra Hearts of Oak’s finest midfielders Edmund Copson has blatantly

disclosed that he had regretted serving the “Rainbow family” as a player.

The light-skinned gentleman, currently domiciled in the UK stated that the

successes the team chalked in 2000 did not in any way reflected in the pockets of

the playing body saying, “It was all over the place that each player received

$25,000 for winning the Champions League. If a player like Jacob Nettey received

such an amount, I have no idea, as far as I concerned, I did not receive such money

from any body.”

And to Copson, that and many other factors compelled him to leave the shoes of this

country for greener pastures in the Queens land.

He revealed to Happy FM’s morning show host Charles Osei Asibey that some

dishonest top officials of Hearts put impediments on the way of players which makes

them frustrated, and eventually leave with bitterness.

The challenges which led to his exit notwithstanding, the brilliant midfielder has

given the assurance that he was putting pieces together and that he will bounce back

in the next few months.

Copson revealed that he was considering a comeback, and ready to re launch his

career with any club, even a Division Three side just to launch sharpen the edges

in him tactically.

To the midfielder, football is an art and with the combination of good training, one

is bound to excel , and therefore does believe in the use of ‘foreign substances’

as energy booster in games.

Nicknamed “Ginseng”, he busted out with laughter in explanation saying, “I heard

that name once on the field of play. I do drink occasionally, but I do not drink

Ginseng liquor.”

He recalls his wining goal in the Hearts of Oak- Liberty Professionals 2-1 with

nostalgia.
