Black Stars of Ghana players have paid tributes to Junior Agogo who passed away in a hospital on Thursday morning in London.
The 40-year-old suffered a stroke in 2015 and struggled with his speech afterwards but he made progress following his gradual recovery.
Agogo, who began his playing career at Sheffield Wednesday made 27 appearances and scored 12 goals for Ghana.
He had spells in the United States, Cyprus and Egypt before finishing his career at Hibernian in 2012.
He became a household name in Ghana following his dazzling performance at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations where he scored three goals including a late winner against Nigeria in Accra.
Former players and current players of the Black Stars have paid tribute to the ex-Nottingham Forest player.
