Yes, GREAT QUARSHIE RIP. I remembered I saw him coming down from the Ghana Army ac which brought them from Lybia at the Kotaka airport in 1982. That was a great moment and the last time Ghana set eyes on the African Cup.He should have died hereafter, there would have been a time for such a word.He was a fine gentle man liked by all.

Look at them.After letters and pleas for help to assist him go for the throat surgery was completely ignored by this same gfa.
Is the gfa not satisfied now?You really owe his family and friends an apology instead of pretending to love him.
A whole country nor the FA could not help this man of reputation but have the gut to organize a press release about his death.
Zamalek of egypt conducted the surgery and other expenses at no other cost for him
Such hypocritic bodies are all around us.Zamalek of egypt should be thanked.RIP,RIP to the family and all sekond hasaacas fraternity.

OH Quarshie, the cold hands of death has finally been placed on you. Libyans would always remember you for you thought as that money is not everything but honour and patriotism are the cornerstone in life. No wonder you die a poor man. We offered you money in 1982 to sell the match to Cameroon in the semi-finals yet you refused and even in the dieing moments of the came you and George Alhassan made victory certained for Ghana. you finally beat us to lift the cup and that was the first time we saw Gaddafi weep not for the lost of the cup but sense of patriotism. Remember Gaddafi held you in high esteem. Rest in perfect peace. Fathi Rahim, Libyan football Association

REST IN PERFECT PEACE, BS CAPTAIN QUARSHIE. I REMEMBER SEVERAL INSTANTS IN THE NEWS, AND EVEN ON GHANAWEB, THAT QUARSHIE APPEALED HELPLESSLY TO THE GFA TO COME TO HIS AID TO GET HIM WITH SOME KIND OF SUPPORT TO TREAT HIS AILMENT, BUT THE GFA PAID A DEAF EAR TO HIM. HIS CALL HIT THE BRICK WALL SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL HIS FORMER CLUB ZAMALEK CAME TO HIS AID SOMEHOW WHICH PROBABLY SUPPORTED HIM FOR A WHILE. NOW THAT HE IS GONE THE GFA HAS SHAMELESSLY COME OUT TO PRAISE HIM. SHAME! THESE ARE SOME OF THE GUYS WHO FOUHGT AND GAVE THEIR HEARTS AND SOULS TO GHANA WITH PRIDE AND HUMILITY; UNLIKE TODAY WHEN THE BOYS ARE ARROGANT AND HAVE NO FEELING OF PRIDE FOR GHANA. RIPP.

R.i p Quarshie. Quarschie was the best ever foreign player to have played in Egypt. I hope we can use the draw Ghana Egypt to celebrate the great career of one of the best attackers Africa has seen.

I still remember a local derby between Hasaacas and Wise when Emmanuel Quarshie picked the ball from the centre circle and than dribbled almost all the Wise players and I still remember the last player was Nyarko before beating Late John Barker in the post for Wise. I can't remember the year, but the final score was Hasmal 1 Wise 1

What a captain!.......who never complained of ever wanting to play or not play for Ghana or argued with any Ghanaian coach. It was all about mother Ghana!

He was one of the best players we can refer to as a BLACK STAR. Humility and GOALS were his hallmarks....a great player indeed!
Thank God for Emmanuel Quarshie.

I have come to a point where I realized that Ghana is not worth dying for. Ghanaians are very ungrateful selfish and liars. It is the reason why people will go any mile to be a politician so they can lie and steal money. Interesting enough, Ghanaian crown such people as heroes. All the 4 former captains of the BS African cup winning teams die with nothing. Ghana could not even redeem the promise she made to these men. Not even GFA with all their chop chop money could do anything to hel this legend of the game when he was sick. Yet Ghanaians complain about players being arrogant and not wanting to play. Ghanaians dont know who is a heroe. They will only mention politicians because they are lairs just like them. This is why we are still 3rd world. And the best talent will always go to where they are appreciated. If the leaders only think about their families, what make them think the ordinary Ghanaian should be patriotic? If we do not change this attitude, we can pray all we want, convert every market or school into church, we will never get out poverty. I hope and pray GENERATION will arise and do the right thing. Rest In Peace Legend of the Game.
