I'm broke - Former Hearts of Oak player cries out

Former Hearts of Oak stalwart Acquah Harrison has revealed that after hanging his boots, he is struggling financially.

The former defender who played an instrumental role in the Phobian side that won the 2004 CAF Confederation Cup over their bitter rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko 8-7 on penalties after the two legs ended 2-2. He scored his spot-kick during the scintillating penalty shootout.

Harrison told an Accra based radio station Angel 102.9 FM "If I tell you I am broke, you won't believe it. I signed two years contract with Hearts of Oak worth ten million old cedis (now 1000 cedis) but I only got six million (now 600 cedis) out of it,"

"Clubs won't give players the money they deserve but will rather use it on something different"

He joined Hearts of Oak from Power FC in 2003 and remained at the club for three seasons.

Acquah Harrison was recently the assistant coach for lower-tier side Sekondi Eleven Wise FC
