“I didn’t expect this level of appreciation. I’m overwhelmed by the love shown,” – Asamoah Gyan emotionally said after the program.
He gave reverence to his senior brother, Barfour Gyan as he considers him as “the key to his success.”
“When I started, no one knew who Asamoah Gyan was. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my brother. He’s the one behind my success,” he added.
The Tourism Minister of Ghana, Dr Ibrahim Awal, speaking on behalf of the president, named Gyan an ambassador for the government’s “Beyond the Return” programme.
Asamoah Gyan is the all-time leading goalscorer of the Ghana national team, with 51 goals. He represented Ghana at the 2006, 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups. With 6 goals, he is the top African goalscorer in the history of the World Cup. No wonder he was described by The President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku as “uniquely unique” in his speech during the “LeGyandary” book launch.
