Legendary former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan, also known as Baby Jet, was honoured with the Player of the Decade Award on the night.

Addressing his fans and followers in a clip, Gyan, who failed to show up at the event to pick up the award, apologised to his fans.

''Hello good evening everyone, I'm very sorry I couldn't make it to the awards night,'' he said.

Gyan went ahead to express immense gratitude to his fans and Ghanaians for the award.

''I want to thank everybody for this prestigious award. First of all, I'd like to thank my family, fans, and all the people from Ghana for this award; being honoured as the Player of the Decade is so humbling.

''I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the organisers and everybody who made this event possible,'' he added.
