The Number 10 Black Star Jersey Of Ghana

The number 10 jersey of the senior national team, the black stars of Ghana has a reputation of the legendary three times African Footballer of the year Abedi AYEW Pele who with his brother Kwame AYEW has contributed immensely to its development .

From Andre AYEW to Ibrahim AYEW and then Jordan AYEW have all in their own way been a household names of Ghana Football and these are the offspring of the AYEW family .

Football indeed is indigenously 'indigenous' thus their family tree of football .

Now , the question many are asking is the aura of the number 10 jersey that discovered Abedi AYEW and subsequently making him arguably the best player of Ghana

From the times of legendary Abdul Razak, Opoku Nti , Abedi AYEW Pele himself , C.K Akunnor on a short term wearing the 10;subsequently switching to number 11, Stephen Appiah and recently the son of Abedi , Andre Morgan Dede AYEW who as well captained the under 20 to a historic world cup victory 2009 in Egypt dorn the 10 jersey .

After Stephen Appiah who captained the Black Stars to the nations first ever World Cup 2006 in Germany, the jersey number 10 has been a stress for other players to wear .

Kwadjo Asamoah , one of Ghana's greats who played in the serial A in Italy declined to continue to wear the 10 jersey leaving it vacant .

Andre AYEW has since been the 10 jersey bearer since Stephen Appiah retired after the abysmal performance of Ghana at Brazil 2014 world cup .

The views of Ghanaians , the questions they keep asking is that should the number 10 jersey be retired for the maestro Abedi AYEW Pele and his son Andre AYEW due to the frequent rejection of black star players who are eligible to wear that number yet abounding it for another number .

Tottenham Hotspurs Mohammed Kudus, another clever world class midfielder rejected the 10 jersey of Ghana after wearing it twice .

Brandon Thomas Asante who was assigned to the iconic number 10 jersey at the ongoing 2026 world cup in the United States of America , Canada and Mexico came on as a substitute and assisted Caleb Yerenkyi to score a goal that gave Ghana the only victory against Panama at the coup du monde never showed up again with the number 10 jersey whilst Ghana exited painfully with bad selection from the Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz.

Is the Iconic jersey number 10 of the black stars of Ghana a shirt if worn makes the players want to "jump out of their skins" when the whistle blows ?
