Hoax. No official sources could be found indicating that this player was on the teams described. Falcon8765 ^(TALK) 01:14, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as hoax. This hoax is easily detected. The RSSSF makes no mention of this player in its summary of the 1982 African Cup of Nations (at http://www.rsssf.com/tables/82a-det.html). He does not appear anywhere of the archives of the RSSSF or FIFA. Moreover, the supposed career-ending injury in 1982 World Cup qualifying against Algeria could not have existed; Ghana never played Algeria in World Cup qualifying until 1992. The quotation at the end is taken (inaccurately) from Bill Shankly. 66.177.64.39 (talk) 01:41, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Wow, how has this hoax lasted so long. No player of this name listed anywhere where it should be, and created as the only contributions of Sackmaster33. Clearly created by someone having a laugh, and still having a laugh over four and a half years later. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 02:09, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
