Former Sekondi Hassacas and Asante Kotoko defender, James Kuuku Dadzie has named himself as the best centre-back Ghana has ever produced.
Kuuku Dadzie played for the senior national team in the 70s and early 1980s. He was a pivotal member of the squad that won Ghana’s third Africa Cup of nations in 1978.
They beat Uganda 2-0 in the finals at Accra Sports Stadium to complete Ghana’s second host and win triumph.
Kuuku Dadzie was named in the team of the tournament for his exceptional performance in the competition. He ensured that Ghana kept three clean sheets out of 5 matches in the tournament.
“During my playing days, there was quality in our play, we could beat you with ease,” he said in an interview with Kumasi-based Akoma FM.
“Also, we had gifted players, I am the best center-back Ghana has ever had because I was gifted. Mohammed Polo, Asamoah Gyan, Abedi Pele and the rest were all gifted but we don’t see such players in our country in recent times.”
Kuuku Dadzie played for Sekondi Hasaacas and Asante Kotoko.
