Skill and strength may not exactly go hand-in-hand, but there are days where ‘The Monstrous’ turn out to be the true option to intimidating and overwhelming opponents of all other capacities.
Without further delay, let’s get to the list of the strongest players in Ghanaian football history.
10. Sulley Muntari
Now with Italian club Pescara, the former left-back later developed into a powerful, hard-working, and aggressive midfielder primarily known for his physical strength and combative playing style.
9. Ibrahim Musa

The 20-year old former Accra Hearts of Oak talent now with Ebusua Dwarfs is a powerful striker, well-built, has pace and is very physically imposing. A dominant player in the air who knows when to lift off and beat his opponent.
8. Afriyie Acquah
Acquah usually plays as a defensive midfielder in front of the defence, due to his pace, physicality, stamina and abilities as a ball-winner
7. Jonathan Mensah
The towering defender is handy in the air, makes timely tackles and has good ball clearance.

6. Isaac Vorsah
This commanding defender was what is considered an “old-fashioned” centre-back who primarily served as a ball winner. Not particularly elegant or skillful from a technical point of view, but he was a hard tackler and had strong aerial duels and concentration.
5. Sam Johnson Foyoo
The Ghana Black Stars player was a proficient all-rounder, in defence, midfield and also in attack. Johnson played for Fenerbahçe SK in Turkey, Anderlecht in Belgium amongst other teams.

A tall and strong defender, positional sense and good anticipation are not exactly his forte, but he is arguably Ghana’s best-ever solid tackler, with an ability to read the game and mark opponents, he also excels in the air.
1. J. K Mensah
J.K Mensah was a husky and herculean striker who made his name in the 1970s as a regular for his club Sekondi Eleven Wise. The imposing Mensah, arguably one of the well-built strikers Ghana has ever seen, also featured for the Black Stars.
