Former Ghanaian international, Bernard Don Bortey has told Accra based Happy FM why the late Michael Afranie dropped him from the U-20 squad ahead of the 2001 FIFA World Cup.
The former Hearts of Oak attacker was dropped with the inclusion of Charles Taylor, Ishmael Addo and Stephen Oduro.
According, to the former Aduana Stars player, the coach [Michael Afranie] asked his agent to pay an amount 500 pounds before he was included in the final for the tournament that Ghana won silver in Argentina after losing to the host in the final.
“I returned from abroad to hear that he has dropped Charles Taylor, Ishmael Addo and Stephen Oduro and I told him straight to his face that if he wants he should drop me that moment and not at the 11th hour,” he claimed on Happy FM.
“I had an agent and he told the agent to pay 500 pounds if he wants me in the final squad and I told the agent to give me the money to spend instead of giving him,” he added.
