Former WAFA trainee Felix Annan has paid glowing tribute to deceased technical director of the academy Sam Arday.

Arday, a former Black Stars coach, died in Accra on Sunday afternoon a short illness.

Annan was scouted to the academy-then Gomoa Fetteh Feyenoord- as a youngster and that was where he was groomed as a goalkeeper.

Two seasons, he returned to the club on loan from his current club Asante Kotoko and helped them maintain their status in the Ghana top-flight.

Annan has been hit by the death of one of the country's finest coaches and took to Twitter to share these words: ''You Took Some Of Us And Gave Us A Life In Football! I Know You Are In The Hands Of God!Rest In Perfect Peace Mr Sam Ardey."
