The former Eleven Wise player was a regular member of the Black Stars between 1965 and 1974 and had a brief stint as captain of the team.

He captained the African select side that played in 1972 mini-World Cup in Brazil and the Afro Latin-American Games in Mexico.

Netizens have been paying tribute to Eshun, whose senior brother, John Eshun, also captained Black Stars briefly in the 1970s.
