FIFA eulogies ex-Ghanaian footballer, Rev. Osei Kofi

The Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) has remembered the exceptional football prowess of a former Ghanaian footballer Rev. Osei Kofi.

The official Twitter page of the international football body posted a picture of the legend, indicating that he was a wizard dribbler during the 1960s Black Stars' back-to-back AFCON winnings.

“The Black Stars was a force to be reckoned with in the 1960’s, winning back-to-back AFCONs

“Part of the team was the “Wizard Dribbler” Osei Kofi who played an important role in the 1965 tournament as the joint top goalscorer,” part of the tweet reads.

The tweet further gave a brief history of the man of God cum former footballer, “Osei Kofi spent his whole career at Asante Kotoko SC in his home country Ghana, after turning down a move to Europe in his prime.”

Osei Kofi, a retired Ghanaian footballer turned man of God, played for Asante Kotoko S.C. and the Black Stars of Ghana, Ghana's national football team.

He was a joint top scorer in the 1965 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Tunis, Tunisia, which led to Ghana's second victory in the tournament.

He also finished the 1968 Africa Cup of Nations as the third-highest scorer.

Osei Kofi, dubbed the "wizard dribbler" for his ball dribbling abilities, reportedly turned down a financial incentive to play in Europe during his prime in 1969.

He won two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments in 1963 and 1965, as well as three Ghana Premier League titles with Kumasi Asante Kotoko Sporting Club in 1964, 1965 and 1967.
