Former Asante Kotoko skipper Ibrahim Sunday has revealed how he ended up signing for the Porcupine Warriors despite being born and bred in Koforidua.<\/p>\n

According to the him, he fell in love with the club during his youthful days at Koforidua after watching them play in the Eastern Region.<\/p>\n

The Porcupine Warriors were so attractive that every brilliant player hatched a dream of wearing the red and white colours.<\/p>\n

Sunday reveals he had to worked hard to impress the Porcupines Warriors before ending up at the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was playing Juvenile football they used to come to Koforidua and play, from that youthful age I began to like them.<\/p>\n

\u2018I said to my self one day I will play for Kotoko,\u201d he exclusively told Footballmadeinghana.com<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I grew up I traveled to Accra to play for Standfast. But I wanted to play for Kotoko.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played a match against Hearts of Oak in Accra and I did very well, after the game, One of the executive of Great Ashanti spotted me and said I have a great future. So they wanted me to come and play for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was happy because I was coming to Kumasi which is closer to Kotoko meaning my dream was coming true,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the league, I played against Kotoko and Cornerstone and did very well after the league which forced Cornerstone to sign me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI left Great Ashanti and signed for Cornerstone.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt that there was a rivalry between Kotoko and Cornerstone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played a league match with Kotoko, and I did very well because I wanted them to sign me. At the end of the season Kotoko came for me,\u201d he narrated.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I looked at the players at Kotoko at that time and told myself I won\u2019t go because if had gone, I wouldn\u2019t have gotten enough time.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause most of their players were playing for national team. But I have not even play for the national team.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I decided to stay at Cornerstone for another year, and that season I had invitation to the national team. I was given the number (6) and regular player.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I made up my mind when they come again I will go, and truly they came and I went. That is how I won a lot of things there\u201d<\/p>\n

Ibrahim Sunday led the club to win the then African champions league in 1970.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
