Former Hearts of Oak superstar Amankwa Mireku who is currently retired has narrated in an interview that most retired players face divorce after hanging their boots from the profession.
Celebritiesbuzz.com reports that the former player who won the 2004 Confederation Cup with the Accra-based club made the profound statements on Asempa FM in an interview.
Amankwa went on further to explain that the reason why the many divorces happen is that the women got married to the players due to fame and money.

After retirement, money and fame both fade away which make the former players unable to keep the women to themselves.
Amankwa strongly advised that young players learned from the experiences of the retired ones and marry women who are not in for the goodies.
He also mentioned that the young players should desist from spending on luxurious things so as to be able to put aside enough for life after their retirement.
