Give Asamoah Gyan a befitting send-off when he retires – Ex-Black Stars defender tells Ghana FA

⚽ by ⚽

Reading Time: 2 mins read

Former Ghana defender Sam ‘Foyoo’ Johnson has urged the country’s football governing body – GFA to give legendary striker Asamoah Gyan an appreciable send-off he decides to finally hangs his boots.

The 45-year-old, who played for Ghana Premier League club Hearts of Oak, and perhaps best known for his time in Turkey with Fenerbahce, says Gyan has wholeheartedly served the West African powerhouse and deserves to be appreciated extremely when he retires.

Asamoah Gyan, 33, is Ghana’s all-time leading top scorer with 51 international goals.

He’s also African’s leading top scorer with six goals in three FIFA World Cup tournaments.

”It would be good for them to organise a testimonial match, but I don’t think they will do it. It’s never in their minds to organise such ceremonies for our players” Johnson told Kumasi-based Hello FM.
”It would have been good for Ghana to do that but as I said they wouldn’t do it.
”I hope they’ll listen and find something to do. Have you seen them organised such programmes for the great players who played for Ghana before our era?
”It is never in their minds but it would have been a nice thing to do.”
Gyan, was stripped off his captaincy role before the 2019 Africa Nations Cup and was made general captain by then Black Stars head coach Kwasi Appiah but recent changes in the Black Stars’ players leadership roles was silent on his general captaincy.
Current Ghana coach  CK Akonnor maintained Swansea City star Andre Ayew as Ghana’s captain with Thomas Partey and Richard Ofori occupying the roles of first vice and second vice-captains respectively.

Gyan left Dansoman side Liberty Professionals for Italian Serie A side Udinese in 2003. He has gone on to represent Modena, Stade Rennes, Sunderland, Al Ain, Shanghai SIPG, Al Ahli Dubai and Kayserispor.

 

The former Sunderland striker is currently on the hunt for a new club following a temporary contract with Indian outfit NorthEast United which ended in January.
