He added ”Coach Bash really loved Kotoko those days when he was coaching the club and the spirit of the team lifted him up. I am not campaigning for him to be handed the Kotoko job but I can tell you he’s the right man for the job”.

According to the 2008 Ghana Premier Goal King, the decent relationship between Bashir Hayford and then playing body was something that triggered his success with the Fabulous family.

”Bash was a good coach during our playing days and that is why he excelled at the club. Those days the conversation he would have with you before a game alone was enough to help you perform on the pitch”.
