'A player's knee can determine his age' - GFA Official

Age cheating with respect to football has become a problem FIFA want to curb, especially in Africa.

Ghana Football Association (GFA) executive committee member, Winfred Osei Palmer, has revealed that he can identify the age of a footballer by just looking at the footballer’s knee.

However, assessing the actual age of young footballers in Africa is very difficult, but according to the tough talking football administrator he can get the right age of a player by looking at his knee.

“I have a lot of ways to assess the age of a footballer, i will just look at the player’s knee to determine whether he is old or young,” Palmer said on Football Legends Night on GH One TV.
