How Derek Boateng ended up marrying Aisha
In a lovely tribute to his wife, Boateng disclosed how he had to find another person to help him facilitate the process. The other person, who was also a manager at the club, Mr Ansong had to question him to know how serious he was and Boateng was sure of his decision.
“Meeting my wife is a very funny situation. Everyone knows Sly Tetteh is my agent and manager. When I started playing for Liberty Professionals, he was the one taking care of me and Mr. Ansong as well,” Boateng told Ghanaweb, as quoted by Pulse.
"Sly Tetteh is the one who took me to Europe and found me a club, but while he was looking for a club for me, I was in his house also looking for a player to sign—I mean my wife. I had to bring the money back to the family because he had done everything for me.”
“I spoke to Mr. Ansong, who was taking care of me, and asked him to go ahead. Sly Tetteh asked if I was ready to marry her, and I said yes because I am not here to joke. Now we are married, have three kids, and are thankful to God.”
