Hearts and Clottey

On 29th April 2007, which is exactly 13 years today, Hearts of Oak won their 19th league title after edging Berekum Arsenal 1-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Phobians finished top of the 2016/2017 season with 58 points, 5 points clear of 2nd-placed AshGold.

On that same day, Emmanuel Clottey bagged a hat-trick to emerge as the top scorer of the 2006/2007 Ghana Premier League with 14 goals in a game his side Great Olympics lost 5-3 against Asante Kotoko at the Nkawkaw Stadium.

Asante Kotoko and Great Olympics were accused by a section of the Ghanaian football loving fans of playing a fixed match to aid Clottey to win the goal king.

Meanwhile, Feyenoord (now WAFA), Tano Bofoakwa &Power FC were relegated.
