Polo, affectionately called “The Dribbling Magician”, credits Messi for his super human football skills but insists those who saw him will attest that I was head and shoulders above him.
“Me for instance, I was such a good player on the ball than even Lionel Messi, I could do many things with the ball that he cannot do now. I watch him play regularly and hear people saying he is the best footballer of all time but I disagree and hope most people who watched me will also do same,” Polo told Sunyani-based Dinpa FM
He added: “We tend to hype footballers too much nowadays and I can tell you if we had got this kind of hype during our time then Messi would have been now here near me.”
Polo was part of the 1978 Ghana squad that won the Nations Cup on home soil and a member of Heart of Oak’s “Fearsome Fivesome”.
He also played for Dubai-based Al Wasl in the 1980s.
