The first Black Stars player to score a goal in the Africa Cup of Nations was Wilberforce Kwadwo Mfum in 1963, but Edward Acquah emerged as Ghana’s topscorer in the tournament with four goals.
Osei Kofi equalled Edward Acquah’s four goal tally in 1965 and in 1968 he broke that record in Ethiopia when he scored three goals to beat that record.
