Hassan Ayariga, 2012 Presidential Candidate of the People’s National Congress (PNC) has said that he was so prolific that he scored goals almost everyday when he is on the pitch.
Mr. Ayariga who is very passionate not only about football but other sports, believes that he would have been a world best had he played football the highest level.
He revealed that he was also into athletics in his secondary days, specifically 5000 meters for his school and further went on to say he could have been one of the best players in the world, had he taken football seriously during his younger years.
“I will be very sincere with you that anytime I play a soccer game I always score a goal so if I had followed football; I would have been one of the best players in the world,” Hassan Ayariga, who is rumoured to be leaving PNC to form a his own political party, told TV3 Ghana.
He added that an injury to his brother, former sports minister, Mahama Ayariga ended their dream of playing football.
“My brother, Mahama Ayariga and I were very good footballers so we played a soccer game between our town (Bawku) and Bolga in which my brother was stamped and had a crack in the bone.
“This led to our father forbidding us from playing football again but as young people, we sometimes sneaked out to play with our friends. I can confidently say that I still score goals till date when I am fielded in a team to play football.” He said.
