I Can"t Hurt My Lovely Fans - Eric Bekoe To Kotoko

Sekondi Hasaacas center forward, Eric Bekoe has rendered an unqualified apology to the fans of Kumasi Asante Kotoko for the comments he made after his sides defeat in their recent league game in Kumasi.

The former Petrojet frontman, had an altercation with Kotoko head coach, David Duncan during their 1-0 loss at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium last Sunday, and it is believed fans who witnessed what transpired are unhappy with their former player’s actions.

Eric Bekoe described Kotoko fans as lovely and he wouldn’t do anything to hurt them. He believes he reacted rudely before them because he could not control his emotions.

“This is football and you can’t stay in one club forever,” Bekoe said.

“If I did anything to hurt the fans, I am deeply sorry. But they all saw what happened before I reacted. It wasn’t my intention to react angrily before my lovely fans but it was due to what the coach did,” he added.

He has also apologized to David Duncan, saying “it was a misunderstanding from either me or him. These things are part of football, but he is matured, older than me and I have to accord him that respect”.

I Will Never Forget Kotoko Fans - Ahmed Toure

Kumasi Asante Kotoko parted company with striker Ahmed Toure on December 31, 2015, but the Ivory coast-born Burkinabe international insist he will never forget the fans of the club.

Ahmed Toure, much noted for controversy off the pitch was not registered for the upcoming Ghana Premier league season.

According to Asante Kotoko, the Burkinabe international was left out of their registered players for the season because they don’t know his whereabout.

Speaking of the first time since he was told of the club’s decision, Ahmed Toure says he will always have fans of the club at heart.

“Kotoko supporters really donated valuable items to me. I would never forget them. They were very charitable to me. Mr.Christopher (Damenya) is one person I will not forget in my life,” Ahmed Toure told Metro FM.

Ahmed Toure returned to Kotoko last season and he was showered with gifts. He revealed that Mr. Christopher Damenya bought him a car.

“He bought a car for me. He did a lot of things for me that even the Kotoko management could not do for me. I really respect him. Several supporters gave me money and valuable items.” He revealed.

There were reports that Mr. Christopher  Mensah also gave Ahmed Toure a plot of land. He confirmed he was actually promised the parcel of land but he never received it.

“But For the plot of land. The man (Christopher Opoku Mensah) who promised me the plots of land has not yet handed the plots to me. But as I am alive maybe he will give it to me sometime to come.  If he gives the plots of land to me, fine, I will take it but as I speak to you, I have not received the plots of land from him. Sometimes when I call him to ask of the land, he tells me people are working on the land.

“From the first day he promised to give me the land, that is what he tells me when I call him. I do not want to speak about it anymore. Its in the public that he has given me plots of land but I have not received any land from him yet.” He said.
