“Apart from Mohammed Polo, I haven’t seen any player like Abedi Pele in this country. I never saw him flop in a single match,” he told Nana Aba.
“And he was the reason I developed love for colts football. Even as a young boy, I used to follow him all over the place.
“Those days, we had the first division, second division and colts and Abedi Pele was the reason I was going to the stadium at 9am. I just go there to watch him play.”

Abedi Pele in his hay days led French giants, Olympique Marseille, to their first European glory, helping them win the 1993 UEFA Champions League.

He also won multiple league titles with the Ligue 1 club and he is regarded as a legend in Marseille.

Abedi Pele started his career at Real Tamale United in the early 1980's before leaving for Al Sadd in Qatar. He later moved to Europe Zurich, Lille, Lyon, Torino and 1860 Munich.

His sons Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew are currently part of Ghana's national team.
