Despite Ghana having produced equally good shot stoppers over the years, notable among them are Dodoo Ankrah nicknamed the Magic Hands, Robert Mensah, Joe Carr, Edward Ansah, etc, the former Galatasaray goalie believes his long spell with the senior national team should put him in a pole position for the all-time best goalkeeper in the annal of the West African country.
