Ex-Ghana captain Quarshie set for treatment in Egypt

[keen observer]

A true reflection of the collective Ghanaian sentiment ..somebody take care of me, be it govt or some organization.

Why the fock should the GFA pay for all retired players medical expenses or the govt for that matter?

U dey mind them?

stupid moron, this is a unique case. How many of our past stars will be in this predicament. For goodwill, PR etc, GFA should have taken up this unique issue of our captain in 82. Is the GFA not embarrased by this Zamalek involvment? GFA and its entourage, quick to hop on next plane to the next tournament to claim their per diem and other perks.
For gods sake is the medical bill that expensive at Korle Bu? No stupid, if I have the money, I will pay for this guys medical bills.

It is a unique case? Is Jones' case a unique case too? Do you know how many ex-footballers are dying today? Stupid nonsense.
The FA could have helped, but to make it sound like it is their responsibility is just plain stupid. So STFU make we think.

Emmanuel Quarshie will undergo treatment in Egypt to cure a throat cancer
Ex-Ghana captain Emmanuel Quarshie will leave for Egypt this weekend to undergo treatment of a throat cancer.

His expenses will be borne by his former club Zamalek who want to his recovery.

He will be accompanied by a former team mate Francis Edzie.

Quarshie visited the club last week in Accra ahead of their CAF Champions League match against Berekum Chelsea.

His trip was facilitated by Justice Boison, a former Hasaacas player, who informed Zamalek officials about Quarshie's deteriorating health.

"Both will have their travelling expenses borne by Zamalek, as well as their rented apartment in Cairo for the duration of the treatment," Boison is quoted by the Graphic Sports.

Quarshie was a prominent player for Zamalek during the team's heyday in the 1980s.

The former Sekondi Hasaacas player helped the Cairo giants to end a six-year Egyptian league drought and win their maiden Champions League title in 1984.

He was renowned for his physical prowess and goal-scoring instinct.

Quarshie captained Ghana to win their last Africa Cup of Nations trophy at the 1982 finals in Libya.

eiii names from the past.

It is indeed a shame. If he was a politician Ghana would have flown him to SA, USA, Dubai etc for treatment. Yet we watch our national heroes die of poverty and curable diseases.

Then we condemn the present generation when they put club and money before national duties. When Gyan went for the money in Arabland, some f00ls on here were condemning him for leaving EPL for an inferior league.

Now you have your answer.

Coast?

i saw that too

Shame on Ghana FA. It is rather sad for us to sit on our behind to watch our Stars who won something for Ghana struggle to survive. They only think about spending stolen money on themselves. It is about time to support our retired BS players from the 60s, 70s, 80s and the 90s. They deserve our support. They should be given free medical care without any questions. This is shameful. Greedy GFA!! They only think about feeding fat on the system instead of providing assistance to the retired Stars who brought glory and honor to Ghana.

Nonsense!!

What's the nonsense in what she wrote

He wants to fight her

What is wrong with that? We've always had a collective mentality before we bought into this individualism sh*t that is now tearing us apart. Ksarp, you have been so corrupted by individualism. Just ran into a white boy stranded at the gas station. He needed $3 to help him get home. He asked a white man who ignored him. I gave the boy the money. Love your neighbor as yourself. You see how niggaz are shooting themselves left and right. it is because of the stupid inidvidualism they have bought into. Met this white american who told me she used to date this Indian dude. She told me it was after dating this guy that she learnt some selflessness. It really pays. We need to go back to the basics. We need to help our weak ones. There is nothing wrong with that. Even the focking elites whose media spew nonsense about responsibility are quick to snatch government help when it is given. The problem with Ghana is fo-ols such KO. They are hypocritical to the core. Abowafunu like that. He really litters this forum with ineptitudes.

But doctors have in the Egyptian capital have revealed that the former national star’s ailment is far from what was originally thought to be affecting him.

He underwent tests at a Cairo hospital on Wednesday which revealed the severity of his illness but doctors in one of the top hospitals in Egypt say they will offer him effective treatment.

"Quarshie showed the early signs of Parkinson's disease and not lung cancer,” a top Zamalek official told MTNFootball.com on condition of anonymity.

"The doctors say it is possible for him to respond to treatment in the coming days, which will make him recover from the illness."

Quarshie was living in Ghana thinking he was suffering from lung cancer until Zamalek arrived in the country to play Berekum Chelsea in the Champions League.

Zamalek chief Abass worried over the plight of the player, who helped them to win several titles including the Champions League, paid for the midfielder to travel to Egypt for effective treatment.

Quarshie was the captain of Ghana's national team that won their last Nations Cup title in 1982.

Gyan Makes Cash Donation To Jones Attuquayefio

By Ameenu Shardow

Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan has donated $3000 to veteran coach Sir Cecil Jones Attuquayefio.

The magnanimous gesture is part of the Al Ain hitman’s contribution towards the upkeep of his former coach whose health has deteriorated over recent years.

The former Ghana international and coach who once served as the Vice President of the Ghana FA was honoured with a charity game last month at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The game saw members of the famous Hearts of Oak team coached by Attuquayefio (The 64 Battalion) line up against the Black Stars.

Part of the proceeds from the game was donated to the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Unit of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital – an initiative of the ailing 67-year-olds.

Gyan is part of the numerous discoveries of Attuquayfio.

Other financially endowed players to have come under the tutelage of Attuquayefio are being urged to contribute their widows might towards supporting the ‘Old Man’.
