I saw Abedi playing almost every position except goal keeping when he was in Black Stars. I remember in Senegal 92 when Armah got red card in Ghana Egypt match, Abedi played as a defender. He was always a back up force for we ...

Coach Otto Addo has no balls to make any significant changes in the current Black Stars team. Ghana is still using the mediocre and selfish players who played in 2024 AFCON
GHANAWEB, PLEASE ALSO TALK ABOUT OUR OTHER LEGENDS LIKE MOHAHAMED POLO, RAZAK, OSEI KOFI, ROBERT MENSA ETC, FOR OUR YOUNG PLAYERS , AND SUPPORTS, TO SEARCH ON THEM TOO, WE UNDERSTAND ABEDI WAS A GREAT PLAYER, NO DOUBT ABOUT ...

You can also write about them.
Oh I see, so you're the oine who messed up Abedi Pele. Abedi used to be so good at the number 6 position, better than Messi, and then you converted hom to number 10, and he was still the best 10 in the world, but at number 6 ...

Edusei is a liar. Abedi started playing the no 10 position in France.
Masa how old are you? The scent of your mother's milk still in your mouth. Was Abedi Pele playing 6 in 1986? Stupid boy! Abedi was playing 10 in 1986 with RTU. That's what the coach is talking about.
@Nana.Point of Correction. It is not a matter of age, but doing proper research. Actually Abedi started playing no 10 when he joined Black Stars in 1982 in Libya. You wanna bet?
Boss,Albert Asase and Kofi Badu were the #6 and #10 at the Libya AFCON 1982.Abedi was on the bench.
@ Babs. You are right Albert Asaase J was no 6 and he played all the matches. Abedi was on the bench he came in and played no 10, and Kofi Badu was shifted to another position. Abedi played the entire 90 minutes against Alger ...

Abedi played 17min in the whole tournament in Libya 82
He came in twice as a substitute
Opoku Afriyie played only one game Ghana vrs Cameroun and he was substitute by George Alhassan
Spio you are right Abedi came and relaced the Captain Emmanuel Quarshie and played for only 17mins.Spio you have a very good memory bro
Replaced*
Stop lying Spio! Let us bet. Go to google and check the match we played against Algeria in the semi finals.George Alhassan played all the matches and never got substituted.
Abedi rather played the entire game against Tunisia and not Algeria.Kofi Badu and George Alhassan were dropped/ rested.Abedi and Opoku Afriyie started.John Essien( original Zion Train) also made his tournament debut after rec ...

@ Nana. You don't know what you ate talking about. PSK kusi was playing number 10.Abedi number 6. Same style as Adolf Armah. I was at the kaladan park when Rtu beat hearts of oak 4 goals to 1
They are talking of RTU and you are here rambling about France, Abedi started playing for RTU when he was only 16 years and had no idea he will even be playing in France. Stop exposing your ignorance online.
@Sister Souja. You know nothing about Abedi. I know very well he played the no 10 position in France, but he started playing 6 at RTU. He first played no 10 with Black Stars in 1982 in Libya. You wanna challenge me?

1986 league match Cornerstones 1 RTU 1 in kumasi
Abedi Pele played #10
Abedi Pele scored 1 goal free kick
Anthony Yeboah 1 goal penalty kick
P. S . K KUSI was the number 10 for Rtu. Abedi played 6.safo number 8 before Abu came to Rtu. Abu later left for olympics
How can could Abedi be better than Messi at No 6 when he wasn’t scoring goals. He started scoring goals at No 10.
Liar, even at no. 6, Abedi was scoring goals left and right.
@ Kwamena. Please let us know the clubs that Abedi played against them, and scored playing no. 6 position.
He was a goalkeeper at Great Facos and Greenhill international school
Goalkeeper? Hahahahahahahahaha.
Sick and tired of this past glory nostalgia.So we dont see how many African nations have overtaken us? When are we going to realise this?
You people are all wrong. Abedi Pele was an attacking midfielder during Primary school. He attended a school attached to GIMPA. His uncle was a lecturer there, and my Dad’s close friend. I remember the boys at the neighbori ...

@ Darius99. Please us know the position Abedi played when he started playing for RTU in 1979/ 80 league.
Emperor, At RTU it was definitely AM or #10.
@ Darius You are wrong! Abedi started playing no 6 at RTU. Go and check your facts before challenging me. He played with likes of Mohammed Choo, Farook, Fuseini “ Believer” Clifford Addie and co.
Darius:At RTU Abedi#10,Abu Imoro#6 and Shaibu Grant#8
@,Darius Abedi was playing 6. Psk kusi 10

In Libya 82 Kofi Badu had a shoulder injury and Abedi came in as number 10.Razak ,Shamo Quaye,Joe Amoateng and sometimes Adolf Armah all did that from 6 to 10 nothing new under the sun.
You did not change him! The Abedi I know is a very versatile player so can even play No.2 if need be. Stop bragging!
@Kyen- kyen , if the coach was Otto Addo or Chris Hougton , Kofi Badu would have played thru the injury 90mins , whilst Abedi would be languishing on the bench..
Ubiquitous Kofi Badu that was how the press des ribbed him ...

Ghana suffering from past glory nostalgia. So?
In his prime he did not get solid BS coaches and Sports Ministers and was allowed freedom to dictate what he wanted and that affected team cohesion and proved his undoing hence did not win AFCON and did not go to WC as team c ...
