    JOHN MENSAH IS A PLAYER AGENT...

  • Krikri,, 10 years ago

    If Bus Stop is your business and you are still driving that bus why should you ask John Mensah to stop playing football with HIS LEGS?

  • Godfrey W 10 years ago

    You should be ashamed of yourself. The man is only 31 years old and he is awesome so back off Harry.

  • ABROKYIRE Y3 FUCKEN! 10 years ago

    Who the heck told you John Methuselah Mensah is 31? Do you mean to tell me John was born in 1983?
    HABAA!

  • John,Tema 10 years ago

    I don't think when it comes to age cheating Harry Zakkour can escape the blame,he teamed up with the GFA to allow a 25year old Ishmael Addo & Stephen Tetteh to play in U20 in Ethiopia.

    John Mensah over 40 years...it a fact..he is old guy in the game

  • Sea 10 years ago

    I totally disagree with Zakkour's suggestion that John Mensah should retire. Ghana could have gone far in their first World Cup appearance if they had included at least Abedi and Yeboah. In 1990, Cameroon sent Roger Millar to ...

    Maybe they did not start their playing carrier at the same time. If I understand you, you meant that if say Essien is called to retire, then Ayew must be called to retire as well. This kind of thinking is a fallacy. The probl ...

    How can you compare Abedi's situation to Roger Miller's, because both have different scenarios. Roger Miller was still active and playing for clubs in 1990 and 1994, although he had retired from the national team. He was a ...

    I always say the down fall of Ghana football was the results of by forced retirement of football players in the 80's and early 90's, for example, memorable players like Polo, Razak, Adolf Amah, Opoku Afriyie, Kuuku Dadzie, Da ...

    JOHN mensah could still,be used tremendously.
    His presence at the back with Vorsah,is so huge.
    KWESI APPIAH,should consider him,because he is still strong enough to defend for Ghana,in the WORLD CUP.
    MIND YOU,THIS MIGHT BE ...

    Why do we always call on our players to retire? Stupid talk Zakor, you should rather retire from football affairs. NONSENSE!!!!

  • JAGA 10 years ago

    Go and tell Blatter to retire b4 you come to Harry. You fool..double nonsense

  • ck 10 years ago

    Harry Zackkour also needs to retire for his kids to take over his business. "he should pave the way for the younger ones to take over" He is passed his prime and should consider retiring.

  • mayor 10 years ago

    so you really think john is 31? business and sports are two very different things. if you read the article very well you should have seen Zakkour said John should retire and do business that means old people can do business t ...

    If someone can play better at his position, fair. Otherwise, no option regardless of being 90 years. All must work to the top as John did.

  • TOGBE IX 10 years ago

    Reducing age of some players go round to affect them. Micheal Essien stayed at the age of TWENTY SIX years for FIVE GOOD years before moving on to the next year. Who was he cheating? HIMSELF.

  • GHFUO, be serious & change ur MENtali 10 years ago

    The elites in business can study the environment in business circles and come up with something difference,that makes a good money.

    This man loves to run his mouth on every issue, but hardly makes sense in his opinions. Who gives him that platform to do that? We need experts to make submissions on serious issues in the body polity of our country not semi- ...

    The famous champion chairman has got it all wrong. John Mensah as a person has his own aspirations in life and nobody has the right to suppress his rights of choosing what to do with his life. Whether he is weak or not good e ...

    WHAT ZAKOUR IS SAYING IS THAT OUR PLAYER SHOULD PLAN FOR OLD AGE SO THEY KNOW WHEN TO SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
    THE FEAR OF LIVING A POOR LIFE PUSHES TTHEM TO PLAY WHEN THEY ARE OVER THEIR LIMIT

  • Kwaku 10 years ago

    Why worry your head have you ever come across an Arab who is honest?Why is it that he did not open his mouth when he was a chairman of Hearts of Oak?

  • diaba k 10 years ago

    John Mensah must retire from International matches or leave the national team but if he still has energy to enjoy playing the game he knows best somewhere that should not be a problem. After all Didier Drogba and others are s ...

    Leave John alone. The most important thing is if he can play well. After all Rio Ferdinand is still playing

  • KWADWO UK 10 years ago

    Exactly my brother

  • A concerned citizen...222222 10 years ago

    Zakour your phoebian motto says "until the bones are rotten" so why do you criticise Mensah's age now? As far as he is better than the young ones he should feature ok.

  • AKWAPIMBA,LAS PLAMAS DE G.C.,SPAIN 10 years ago

    -HARRY ZAKKOUR YOU RATHER SHOULD RETIRE.YOUR DAYS ARE GONE.YOU HAD GHANA TO BE CHEAP TO BE ELECTED AS CHAIRMAN OF HEART OF OAKS.CONFUSE THE PROPLE AND NOTHING ELSE.JUST BRIBE THEM UP.LEAVE THE GUY ALONE.

    EH SO MR. RA-SI-ZIM IS 31, THAT IS GHANA FOR YOU. CHEATING EVERYWHERE AND WE THINK ONLY POLITICIANS ARE CORRUPT.

    Harry Zakkour should know that as fr experience is concerned, age is a secondary matter so far as form and energy is concerned. Has Zakour forgotten of the exploits of Roger Miller at the world cup when he 40 years Please Zak ...

    Isn't this same ZAKKOUR,the old man,who had been dominating in BUILDING HARDWARE BUSINESS?
    He is too old to judge the performance of someone who might be about 49 years younger than his age.
    He should give us a break.
