I think he also played in South Korea, if my memories serve me right
I support Hearts but guys like George were loved by everyone for their service to the nation. I am jealous of you George. You still have all your hair

George Alhassan, Dan Kayode, Peter Lamptey, Robert Hammond, Cobblah and Nutsugah were fun to watch in those days

These are the players we grew up with. They played to make the fans extremely happy and that was when football in Ghana was "Football".
George was an excellent striker. God bless him. You made the dade boys proud
Commentary alone those days made us enjoy football. I think after Joe Lartey , was another great commentator Harry Thompson. Then was the Eric Berko , Nii Anum Thompson. I am Oly Dade fan , but my greatest match at the Accra ...
