Former Accra Hearts of Oak attacker Bernard Don Bortey has revealed veteran sports journalist Kwabena Yeboah's role in his failed move to Asante Kotoko.
Don Bortey described how Kotoko's then coach, Ernst Middendorp, was hesitant to sign him when he was introduced at training in an interview with Dan Kweku Yeboah TV.
Don Bortey wowed the German coach with his talent after Kwabena Yeboah convinced him to give him an opportunity.
"Ernest Middendorp didn’t want me but Kwabena Yeboah maintained that he gives me a chance. My first touch was a corner to the goal. Osei Boateng was the goalkeeper then. The second touch was a free kick, and Middendorp was shocked," Don Bortey said.
"Kwabena Yeboah asked them not to allow me to go to Accra but if they do, I wouldn’t come back,"
Don Bortey was an integral part of the "64 Battalion" and a deadly force for the Phobians.
