Asante Kotoko legend Frimpong  Manso recalls his goal against arch-rivals Hearts of Oak which helped his side to clinch the Ghana Premier League trophy.

Frimpong Manso says the goal against their arch-rivals Hearts of Oak is the most memorable match he has played in his career for Asante Kotoko.

"I excelled in most of the matches I played but the one which still rings a bell in my mind was against Hearts of Oak in Accra. It was a decider because if we defeated Hearts we would win the league.

"Hearts were awarded a penalty kick but missed it. In the course of the match, Kotoko were also awarded a penalty which I scored to win the day for Kotoko. It was my goal that won the league cup for Kotoko, so that match remains one of my best", he told Graphic Sports in an interview.

On his memorable match for the national team: "It was a match against a Sierra Leonean team which we won 4-0 in Kumasi. I scored two of the goals as a defender. And in 1993, I scored about 10 goals as a defender"

He played for Asante Kotoko between 1987 and 1995 before moving outside Ghana to play professional football in Kuwait.

Frimpong Manso also made his debut for Black Stars in 1986.
