During an interview with UTV, the successful footballer and all-time goalscorer for the Ghana national football team, Black Stars, revealed that he had made a lot of sacrifices for Ghana.
The philanthropic footballer and entertainer detailed that there were times he put the interest of the team above himself, yet he did not know whether Ghanaians appreciated his efforts.
According to Gyan, this feeling persisted after his retirement, making him unhappy for a while until a video of Ghanaian parliamentarians eulogising him surfaced.
Gyan said:
"I did not know whether I was appreciated or not. I have made a lot of sacrifices for the national team, but I had doubts about how much Ghanaians appreciate my efforts even after my retirement."
I was unhappy, but after watching the video from Parliament House, I was happy to see the parliamentarians recognise my efforts."
