He took me to all the power brokers in CAF, from Mahamadu Diakite in Mali, General Memeh in Togo, and everyone who mattered. We travelled all along to meet them and these trips were financed from his own pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The well-organized lecture saw the likes of CAF President Ahmad Ahmad, Sierra Leon FA head Isha Johansen, and many others taking turns to narrate the impact and contribution Sly Tetteh had on their personal development and Sly\u2019s influence in the development of football in their respective countries.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe event was put together by SportsLife- , an amalgamated group of stakeholders in Ghana sports, to honour the life and works of the former Liberty Professional\u2019s co-owner. It was supported by the Ghana Football Association.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nSly Tetteh is considered a pioneering figure who revolutionize football administration, management, player development and marketing in Ghana and together with his partner Felix Kwabena Ansong changed the perception of how the business of football should be run. <\/p>\n<p>The maiden edition of the lectures was focused exclusively on the life of the man who gave the world Baffour Gyan, Michael Essien, Sulley Ali Muntari, Asamoah Gyan, Kwadwo Asamoah, and Derek Boateng among many others and his impact on Ghana and African football.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 58 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Wednesday, 27 September 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-09-27 play videoKwesi Nyantakyi says Sly Tetteh was his mentor &#13;
