"ONLY THE ACTIONS OF THE JUST SHALL SMELL SWEET AND BLOSSOM IN THE DUST". AWULEY, I remember you from Mamprobi Zion -- playing in the school team. AWULEY, you should also remember me from the same school -- playing in the same school team, and for Bukom All Yankees. AWULEY, I left for the United States, shortly after you joined Accra Great Olympics. I shall return; but neither AWULEY nor DURU will be there. OOOOOH! IT'S GOING TO FEEL SO EMPTY AROUND ME. LORD ALMIGHTY, THY WILL BE DONE. May Lord Almighty continue to bless our beloved Great Ghana:Amen!!! MAY YOU FIND A LASTING REST AND PEACE IN THE ARMS OF LORD ALMIGHTY: AMEN!!! MAY LORD ALMIGHTY WATCH OVER YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES:AMEN!

GHANA vs. TUNISIA (AFCON 1978)

Awuley Quaye gave that long-range pass that Razak connected to the back of the net. It was famously referred to as the golden goal!

Awuley in those days had the nickname "Foyoo" but never got to know the origin and meaning of that name.
There used to be an art painting of him with Razak and Polo somewhere around the then Race Course end of the Accra Sports Stadium.
He captained the BSs to win 1978 Afcon against Uganda with "Bayie" Opoku Afriyie (also of blessed memory) netting both winning goals with Head of State I.K. Acheampong in attendance at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Players of both finalist teams with runners-up Nigeria were airlifted from the pitch by a military aircraft to I think Burma Camp or so after the game.
The govt promised the winning team estate houses but seemed like didn't materialize.
Those were really the days of Ghana soccer.
"Foyoo" of AGOSU fame, may your soul RIPP!!

Sorry,.....with third team Nigeria I meant to say, and not "runners-up" as Uganda was rather the runners-up.

May he rest in perfect peace. I watched him put up a captain s performance in the 1979 ancon final. They were all amateur football players who sacrificed so much for Ghana football.

Rest Well “ MAN POWER “ He would remain one of the best central defenders Ghana ever had. Alongside Kuuku Dadzie and Issac Paha. Awuley Quaye was a sight to see during the 1978 African Cup Of Nations
