"When I caught Hearts of Oak there and I gave it to them, some Asante Kotoko fans were shouting this cripple has scored against you, he can’t score us meanwhile I was their legend," he told Joy Sports.

"I was part of the people that gave them happiness during that time but I’m not saying all the Asante Kotoko family but some of them.

"I foresee that they were hurt without knowing inside information of the issue itself.
