It was C.K. Gyamfi who made Abedi captain. Otto Pfiester was nowhere near the Black Stars at that time.

Abedi Pele is someone I love so much as he's the master in football. During his days in RTU, I never missed training sessions just to see him use the ball like tossing up his baby child.
He understands the ball, he can dictate to the ball where it should go, who should have it.
In fact, he's an emeritus in football. He just like JJ Ochocha of Nigeria.
Today' s footballers don't have the practical skills to entertain us.
Abedi could surprise you in the dying minutes of a game whenever his side is under a point or so, by weaving, dribbling all the defense or using his head to volley the ball into the net, and the whole packed stadium will burst into flames with his name on many mouths.
He can get a winning goal for his team when the going gets tougher.
On this note I say,Abedi Pele is the legendary, the hall fame in African soccer.

yes in terms of skills, yes he may have a point but in terms of team work attitude he will score very low marks. if you ever saw rabah madjier, bellome, kalusha, adolf armah,emmanuel yartey play combining skills & team work, then you will agree with me this debate here isn't neccessary. look in abedi's own words the yellow card he received in senegal 92 was more of improper dressing than desent. i couldn't understand why a player plying his trade in europe will always pull his shirt down, pull his socks down when playing for the blackstars. the referee warned him several times to dress well but kept undressing well with the excuse that it was the nigerian footballers who were pulling out his shirt. aside that anytime an ayew has to come on the scene,the fortune of a superstar has to be truncated. in 1981/82, adolf armah as captain of the blackstars had to be taken off the pitch for abedi to come on and adolf never wore the blackstars jersey again. secondly after libya 82, it was opoku nti who seemed to be holding sway with the number jersey and captain's band but he suffered a long streak of injury. then in 2008 when dede was invited into the blackstars, captain & number 10 jersey wearer, stephen appiah like joke like joke. then john mensah took the captain's band like joke like joke; then michael essien like joke like like joke; then kwadwo asamoah went in for the number 10 jersey, and we all know his struggles; then djan took the band, the lost the mother and we all know what has been happening. then a majid warris emerged as an attacking smear head, then got injured in friendly and jordan replaced him and ever since like joke like joke. now the 2 lads have joined the english premiership and like joke like joke a certain mvp called christian like joke like joke..........................

I was in college, Archibishop Porter Girls, at Elmina that time when they played that game between Ghana and Ivory Coast in Ziginshore that time, infact it was heart breaking. Abedi couldn't play the finals because he was issued a red card. He sat on the bench. I was then a young lady by then. After the match the Rev. Sisters who were managing the school at that time told us that we Ghanaians are not discipline that was the reason why we lost the match. If Abedi Pele had listened and followed the instructions he would have played the final match that is what Rev. Sis. Jacinta told us.

No one in the history of African football ever did it the Abedi.Abedis generation is a blessing to mother Ghana.All his children and grand children will be great footballers n will bring glory to our country.God bless Abedi
Abedi forever the best.We are proud of you
Agya kramo you are right
Tanx mass say that again
they better keep quiet rather to open old wounds, fuck the greatest ever shit.
If he achieved nothing,he was 1000 times better than 100 Kwesi Appiahs put together.
his achievements:He was the first player to win the African footballer of the year on three continuous occasions,
Pele won the AFCON as a teenager in 1982 and 1992 he went 2 finals.Yeboah was the one dividing the team.Abedi ...

Abedi was the greatest. Tony Yeboah was not as dedicated and the coach had the right to decide the captain.
I am a Kotoko fan. End of story.
Here you see the kookoase people coming out so quick to debunk your claim.Challenge him with someone in mind than talking trash here.Abedi will forever remain the best.Go global and sample opinions and see if someone knows ev ...

senegal 92 i was doing national service @ place where there was no electricity & no tv coverage so had very scanty information on. thanks for this very accurate information delivered here.
Egya Kramo George Weah never played in a world cup but he still stands as the best African player ever in the game.Be wise and stop hatting for he is still the best.Abedi is Ghana's best.
Because he is your friend . What abt Samuel Eto who won the African player title
5 times and played in abt 3 world cups, winning 2 cup of nations. May be Aneth is all time Gh.
Nyantakyi would maame tw3. Ghana soccer under a dead abedi or baffoe will shine and be a success than with a living nyantakyi in charge. As for that kwasia nyantakyi. Wey gyimi ooo
Abedi could be one of the greats but surely not the greatest. I may not wish to name any names, but it seems Tony Baffoe know little about the greats of old. Ask the old men and women still alive and they will tell you.
Abide is always number 1 you like it or not.You can kill yourself, he is the best.He won trophy for Ghana 1982 once he was among of the team. All is part of Ghana record in soccer. All so great achievement, for 3 times Afric ...

Abedi bullshit the referee at afcon 92 and he got a yellow card that disqualify him to play in the finals and we lost on penalties to the ivorians so as far as ethics counts he's not the best.
Regardless of whatever hate some people have for him (Abedi Ayew) he's simply the greatest ever. All the time talking abt shit Akwesi Appiah's captainship and all that, does makes no sense when it comes to Abedi's greatness, ...

Abedi Pele is someone I love so much as he's the master in football. During his days in RTU, I never missed training sessions just to see him use the ball like tossing up his baby child.
He understands the ball, he can dic ...

Wow Abedi Pele, the emeritus prof in soccer, dribbling machine , the dribbling wizard, the maestro, the guru, master tactician, the Creator, the Jack- of- all trail,
yes in terms of skills, yes he may have a point but in terms of team work attitude he will score very low marks. if you ever saw rabah madjier, bellome, kalusha, adolf armah,emmanuel yartey play combining skills & team work, ...

You are just sick in the head. A bed's skills n performance are divine. You are only being ethnocentric. Anything achieved by a northerner is not worth its value. You cannot discount the Ayew family. It is a tornado.
I do support Tony Baffour 100% but they issue in Ghana is tribalism.if Abedi has come from certain part of the Ghana, people will not even let him walk on the street ,he would have been carried on people's shoulders. I have ...

I support you 100%,if Abedi were to come from Ashanti region,a?l those haters would lay on the floor for him like they do to otumfour.
That's 100% true.most of us who had the chance of seeing him play will not dispute this fact
Mohammed Polo was better than Abedi. There was nothing like Footballer of the year award when players like Aggrey Fynn, Edward Acquah, Osei Kofi, Ofei Dodoo, Jones Atukwei Fio, Amusah Gbadamoshie, Mama Aquah, Robeth Hammond, ...

You just kwame danger and i feel tears in my eyes. Great talents who were never recognised, gone are the days.
You are right Tony. Those who think otherwise shd look for the clips of his football career and stop arguing. Some of u were kids at that time so help ur selves with the clips.
MY BEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME IN GHANA FOOTBALL IS OSEI KOFI (DUBBED THE GEORGE BEST OF GHANA BY SROKE CITY COACH)HE WAS UNSELFISH AMD MADE PEOPLE AROUND HIM BETTER
he was 2nd to BABY PELE. he himself has admitted that. in fact when they went to the 1968 olympics and the white coach said baby pele was ghana's best player osei kofi, and the other kotoko players rioted after returning. aga ...

Abedi Pele must think about running for the President of Ghana. I will certainly vote for him.
Please Tony,I beg to differ from you in this your assertion. are you saying this because it was the two of you (Abedi and Baffoe) who denied us(Ghana) the Nation's trophy in Senegal in 1992? Abedi was impatient and earned a r ...

Why, haven't you people heard of Akwasi Wusu- Goal King?
Tony Baffoe made a point but certainly Abedi was and is not the best footballrt of all time in Ghana and in Africa. I would name Reverent Osei Kofi to be thew most talented and greatest footballer of all tima followed by Sund ...

TONY BAFFOE NOT BAFFOUR
Abedi the best? Sure no doubt about that. You can't put any names against him unless you hate him personally.
Rev. Osei Kofi, CK. Yara
Nice player was he.
