“Our time we were lucky because there was no social media. It’s all about the passion. Looking at players during my time like Attram, Laryea Kignston and Razak all came through colts’ football.
“We were not doing what Cristiano Ronaldo is doing for us to even want to be like them. I noticed one thing that through the passion and hard work the money will come.”
