Football governing body, Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) has celebrated Ghana legend Rev. Osei Kofi on its official social media.

Recounting how Ghana’s senior national team, Black Stars, dominated the African continent with its success in the 60s, FIFA put its spotlight on one of its key players at the time.

The former Kumasi Asante Kotoko winger played an instrumental role and helped the Black Stars win the 1963 and 1965 African Cup of Nations (AFCON). He also won the topscorers award as a joint goalscorer.

The post read: “Ghana was a force to be reckoned with in the 1960’s, winning back-to-back AFCONs Part of the team was the “Wizard Dribbler”

“Osei Kofi spent his whole career at Asante Kotoko SC in his home country Ghana, after turning down a move to Europe in his prime,” FIFA recalled in the post on its official Twitter page.

Having spent his entire career at Ghana for Kumasi Asante Kotoko, he played 340 matches and scored 151 goals between 1961 and 1975 and rejected lucrative offers from European clubs.
