Asante Kotoko legend Eric Bekoe has revealed that people did not believe he would succeed at the club after he put on a show during preseason.
The now 36-year-old emerged as the top scorer in the 2007/08 season with 17 goals from 23 games, winning the league with the Porcupine Warriors in his only season there.
Speaking about his time with the Ghanaian giants, Bekoe was fond of his time there and how he proved doubters wrong.
"I started scoring during preseason, and the media were like, 'This is a fluke. We have seen many players who couldn’t make it after the preseason,'" he told Joy Sports.
"I told them I was just doing a warm-up. The league proper, that’s where I'm going to show who I am.
"So when the league started, my first league match was against Great Olympics under the floodlights. The first match that I played in Kumasi, where I netted a hat-trick.
"I scored in three away games before coming to Kumasi to show them that this is the new gem that is on board.
"I played 23 matches in the league, scored 17 goals, 10 matches in Africa, and scored 10 goals. Within a season at Asante Kotoko, I played 48 games and scored 42 goals."
