Hearts would have bitten Nigeria in that game, but for fielding Baffour Gyan which destroyed the chemistry at the time physically and spiritually.
Yes blacks we don't know how to build on success.

Bortey came after the 2000 triumphs. But he scored the most beautiful goal in Cape Town against Santos in 2004 during the CAF Confederation Cup competition.

There was no Luis Agyemang... He came later. It was Ishmael addo sho spearheaded the attack with don bortey and Charles Taylor In the wings. Emmanuel osei kuffour paired with Ismael. Agyemang Duah was at the heat of defence.

The best time of Accra Hearts of Oaks was the 1972-78 era of The Winsome 5. The good old days of Mohamed Polo, Anas Seidu, Adolf Ammah and co. That was the glory days of soccer in Ghana. We had no expensive academies but got players from Academicals that was the inter schools and colleges league. Every team had reserves who play before the main teams. On a typical Sunday Colts play, reserves follow before the regular teams.

Hearts of Oak in the 1970s to 1975. Watched all matches played in Accra. You board a boneshaker tro-tro to the stadium and you might walk home after the match, crowds. You knew Hearts would win at home very very dominant.

Exactly. He's midinforming the public. The picture and names were for 2004. But that squad was also brutal. In fact they played the whole of the 2003 league without losing a match, but didn't win the league.

Where are the likes of Mahma Acquah, Anas Seidu, Mohammed Polo, Offei Ansah, Hesse Odamtten, Kingston Asabre, George Nketiah Yawson, Tanko Ayuba, Peter Lamptey, Robert Folly, Samuel Suppey, etc etc who once donned the Rainbow Jersey and showed class in soccer?
This present day journalists must do proper research on before submitting articles about soccer because some of us were still kids but had glued to the radio and television sets to listen to football matches when we couldn't get to watch live matches at the Accra Sports Stadium.
