“Our first season [in Tamale City], we went unbeaten we went to Nkoranza and then there were bent on cheating us. It was difficult and we could not [win]. At the dying embers of the game, there was a goal kick and the supporters came on the pitch to beat the referee. They were beating us too. Some were even throwing stones and their reason was that the referee should award a penalty against us. We allowed the penalty because we feared for our lives. That was two years ago.”
