    I am Nigerian and I'm moved to tears cos my late father (He passed when I was 15) used to tell me about Baba Yara and another Mohamed Salesu. Watching this makes me miss my dad dearly. RIP

    I had the privilege of seeing him play. I watched him play for Kotoko and Real Republicans. At that we used to say Baba Yara,Gyamfi, Salisu when Black Stars are playing. I also remembered when he got accident when traveling with his team mates. If not the 1966 coup, he may still be living but paralyzed. He married a beautiful woman Patience. Although, a sport stadium was named after him, I still think that we Ghanaians don't take care of our sport hellos. I would like to see these sport figures honored. C.K Gyamfi, Aggrey Fynn, Dogo Moro,Odamtey, Frank Odoi, Osei Kofi, Kwame Adarkwah, Kwesi Owusu,Agyemang Gyawu, Seikon,Robert Mensah,Mfum and others l could not named. Some of them l forget to spell their name well because it was a long time because l lived in America for long.
    Thanks

    Allahu Akbar, the good always die young and the wicked inherits the earth. I blame GBC for not making enough programmes about these heroes when it was the only TV station in Ghana in the 80/90s. Been an early 80s born, I thought I knew so much about football and thanks to this very documentary, I have realised I know nothing at all about footy in my own country. The guy was like the president with the whole of Ghana going to the airport to welcome him back from his treatment abroad. Jah bless!!

    See how his own friend players celebrating him and saying good things about him. If it was today, pride will never let his own friend players say good things about him because we all players why should I praise someone we all played together. African problem!

    I now see one of the reasons why most Ashantis hate Nkrumah... There are more histories about Ghana we still don’t know... God bless those who dedicated their time to put this great work together... Ghanaians will rise u high and bring you down... I’m sure his accident wasn’t even normal... I’m pained... this is so sad age 33😭😭😭😭😭

    It was surprising how the Ashantis would allow their big edifice like Kumasi sports stadium be named after somebody from the north ‘Baba Yara” …but it all make great sense now…..because we know these Kumasi folks to have some Pride bi ehn…!
