Dubbed one of the pioneers in African club football history, Accra Hearts of Oak is synonymous to legendary status on the continent.

With 99 titles in their trophy haul, the 104th birthday of the Oak Tree could not have asked for more.

The capital based Premier League campaigners celebrate 104 years in existence as we recap the magical numbers in the camp of the Phobians.

The 20 times league champions earned the Phobian tag after a blistering 9-5 aggregate win over their feared foes, Asante Kotoko, in 1958.

As the only club to have finished all the top flight seasons in Ghana, the trophy cabinet of the legendary club could have much more with a bit of luck.

Below are some magic numbers to highlight the ceremonial mood of Accra Hearts of Oak Limited to the first 11 players.

11- Highest number of goals involved in one match, (5-6) defeat to Heart of lions 10- Highest number of matches lost in a single season 09- Total number of FA CUP trophies 08- Highest ever African club ranking in 2001 06- No league trophy in the last six years 04. Highest trophy haul in one season ( 2004) 03. Number of appearance at the CAF Champions League finals ( 1977, 1979 and 2000) 02. Only the second club to have finished a full league season undefeated after Great Olympics (Hearts in 2003/Olympics in 1970) 01. The only Ghanaian club to have finished all top flight seasons since 1958

Born on November 11, 1911, the 104th birthday party of the Rainbow Family could not asked for more considering the 99 trophies including 20 League titles, one Champions League trophy, one Confederations Cup trophy and one Super Cup trophy.

PHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBIA!

Happy Birthday!
