Emmanuel Agyemang was a talented footballer who played defence for Berekum Chelsea in the GPL and CAF Champions League during his glory days.
Life, however, took an unexpected turn when the financier of the football club relocated abroad, leaving the team bankrupt.
Many players, including Emmanuel Agyemang, lost their jobs, which was the beginning of his woes.
Life after football
After leaving his former club, he had a new manager, who also lasted a year. Life after that had been tough.
Emmanuel Agyemang lost everything, including his saloon car. He also became homeless and has since resorted to doing various jobs for a living.
Currently, he works as a dishwasher and makes GH¢20 each time he goes to wash the dishes.
