Great interview, lessons to learn from the maestro and the Abedi we do not know on world stage.
Abedi must be honoured indeed in Ghana!
Ghana’s greatest ambassador on world stage for many years.
I got honoured in EUROPE those days because I was a Ghanaian where Abedi comes from that's awesome.

Thank you Tom. I don't care what anyone else says, Abedi is Africa's GOAT and Maradona is football's GOAT, simple, no if no but!

Can we stop this Abedi nonsense? What at all did Abedi achieve for this nation? Some of us knows the beginning and the end of this boy and there is nothing you can say to change our own observation. Was Abedi not part of the team when Ivory Coast defeated us in the Kumasi Sports Stadium? Was he not part of the team when Liberia defeated us at the Accra Sports Stadium that was infamously dubbed black friday? Was the same Abedi not part of the team that lost to Togo in Accra? Was he not part of Bochum disaster? There are many more i can list of the so called Abedi. He was a selfish player and controversial in the dressing room. Ghana has produced better players than his caliber.

You are a fool. Mad man. What did Drogba, Weah, Salah also achieve for their respective countries yet fools like you celebrate them. You can go to hell. Shame on a hater like you.

Your entire generations are fools, infact your mother, father uncles and everyone associated with you are not only fools but big fat fools. Insults are not one man's prerogative, everyone can trade it.

You are spot on. For his clubs, he was amazing, for Ghana, he was jordan Ayew, nothing else to add.

How many times did Messi go to the World Cup and how many times was he defeated and how many times has he won the World Cup. Ronaldo is also the best, has he ever won World Cup before. Some of you must be canned to death.

both players had achieved all glories in with their respective clubs and national teams except the world cup of which messi won in the last world cup. what about Abedi? only one cup with OM and thats it. please dont tell me abuot "82 cup of nations, he was a novice and only played a cameo role in it. when he became a mutured player he achieved nothing for us. my point is ghana produce equally good or even better players that abedi. at my age i have seen it all as far as ghana soccer is concerned not the later days gibberish that is going on.

Abedi Ayew Pele, was a soccer-gem but was too selfish and destructive in his heydays in our national team.
His own selfish and destructive behaviours prevented him and others like Stanley Aboraa, Joe Addo, Foyoo Sam Johnson, Tony Baffoe, Powerful Tony Yeboah, Kwasi Appiah, Prince Opoku Polley, and many more from having the chance to go out there and display their Soccer-Made -In-Ghana skills and power at the World stage, notably, US`94.

Wishing abedi nothing but the best

He was indeed a great player

And Oppong weah said that, he didn’t understand why abedi never won the European best player before him

A great legend

Anyone who knows football knows that Abedi Ayew Pele is a gift by the footballing gods to mankind. The greatest ever. He played with panache and excellence. Somebody go and watch world 11 against Brazil before the Olympics of 1996. How he tore the Brazilian defense apart that featured Roberto Carlos, Aldair, Marcio Santos etc. It is a crime to compare any African player to Abedi Ayew Pele. In my own eyes no one compares to the maestro.

Sure at the level of Jordan Ayew he was light years above anyone whoever donned the Ghana jersey. None of the current or past black stars players can compare their performances to the great and idolized Abedi for the black stars. He is the greatest both for Ghana and at the club level.

Don’t argue with soccer connoisseurs. You small boys of today who eat indomie don’t know anything yet when you are been taught you won’t humble yourself to learn. In France Abedi was referred to as the black Maradona by the likes of Bernard Tapie and top footballing icons. Shut up and learn ok.
