Charles Taylor : Players in Ghana can’t worship God

Bismarck Asampong also known as Charles Taylor believes that footballers cannot worship the Almighty God diligently due to certain ungodly rituals they go through before games.

Charles Taylor played actively on the local scene with clubs like Gt. Olympics, Accra Hearts of Oak, Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Berekum Chelsea, winning several league and cup titles.

But after his illustrious career was cut short by injuries, he has turned a pastor and has revealed some of the ungodly rituals Ghanaian players go through in order to earn selection.

“There are instances where we are asked to bath with certain concoctions, smear ointments and other ridiculous substances on our bodies.

“Trust me if you don’t do it you will not play. Let me tell you when I was in Kumasi, George Owu refused to partake in one of those activities before a game because he felt it was against his faith so the coach decided to drop him until he gave in. Look I am not saying you cannot play football and follow God but if you want to worship him really well then you cannot do it and play football in Ghana,” Charles Taylor told Kasapa FM.

He is now a junior pastor at Glorious Wave Church International at Sakumono.
