Former Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan shed tears as he talked about his brother Baffour Gyan at his book launch on Saturday.
His brother played a key role in his playing career which has seen become all-time leading goalscorer of the Ghana national team, with 51 goals.
The launch took place at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra which had Stephen Appiah, Abedi Pele, Anthony Baffoe, and Emmanuel Adebayor, and El Hadji Diouf all in attendance.
"Sometimes I see people on the street and then they tell me, 'you are the most hated player in Ghanaian history' but they also tell me 'I am the most loved' so I always sit down and ask myself why?" Gyan said.
He continued that, "that hated part, sometimes I ask myself questions, and then I came to understand it comes with the territory I put myself in".
He added, "With the support of my brother who I always mention, I am very emotional right now. He is the key."
"He is the one behind my success, sometimes criticisms and everything comes, people blame him for being a bad influence but they don't know what he has done behind the scenes."
Some astute politicians were present, including President Nana Akufo-Addo, E.T. Mensah, Kennedy Agyapong, and Mahama Ayariga.
Businessman Dr. Ernest Ofori Sarpong bought the first copy of the book for a whopping GHc100,000, with the MP for Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong also picking the second copy for the same amount.
Freedom Jabon Cesar and GFA President Kurt Okraku also splashed GHc50,000 to acquire a copy of the book at the event.
