Edward Acquah bagged a brace when Ghana defeated Sudan in the final of the 1963 Africa Cup of Nations to become champions of Africa.
He won league titles with both Eleven Wise and Real Republicans.
Wilberforce Kwadwo Mfum

Dan played for the Black Stars in the 1970’s. Dan Owusu, however, made a huge mark in club football during his days at Bofoakwa than his contribution to the Black Stars . He emerged as the first player to win the goal king in the Ghanaian topflight league in three consecutive seasons, a record which was only equaled by Ishmael Addo in 2001.
Tony Yeboah
He was the Ghanaian player with the best international appeal. Tony Yeboah was the first African footballer to win the top scorer’s award in the German Bundesliga when plying his trade for Frankfurt. He also won the top scorer in the Ghanaian topflight league with Corners Stones before he moved abroad for greener pastures.
