"George Afriyie is one person I shall always be thankful to. He inspired me a lot and guided me to where I am today. He always motivated me," Kadri told Ghanasoccernet.com.

"I went through a lot of trying times at AshGold but he was always the for me. He told me to be focused and think about the future and this is how far it has brought me.

"At a point, I felt really frustrated at AshGold. I was not paid well and was treated as an outcast but George always called to motivate me," he added.
