Former Premier League Star Asamoah Gyan Has Signed The Book Of Condolences For Queen Elizabeth II.

Asamoah Gyan, Africa’s all-time World Cup top goal scorer and a former player for Sunderland FC, has expressed his condolences on the demise of Her Excellency Queen Elizabeth II.

On Wednesday, September 14, 2022, at the British High Commission in Accra, Asamoah Gyan followed other prominent figures like Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, Asante Mamponghene and Nana Agyakoma Difie II, Asante Mamponghemaa to sign the book of condolence for the demise of the Great Queen.

Asamoah needed to embark on this monumental signing of the book to pay tribute to Great Britain, as he once played for a Premier League club during his prime in football. 

Sunderland FC signed the Ghanaian striker from Stade Rennais Football Club on a four-year deal for a club record £13 million on August 31st, 2010, he scored on his debut on September 11th, 2010 when he replaced Danny Welbeck against Wigan Athletic.

Gyan scored against prominent Premier League clubs like Chelsea in Sunderland’s 3-0 triumph at Stamford Bridge, and he also grabbed a goal against Tottenham at White Hart Lane in a 1-1 draw as Sunderland moved up to seventh on the league table on his debut season.

Before moving on a season-long loan to Al Ain FC in the UAE league at £6 million, he had scored 11 goals for Sunderland in all competitions, in 37 appearances.

He would never be forgotten by the fans of the Three Lions of England and soccer pundits of English football when he scored a spectacular goal against England at the Wembley Stadium. He scored at 90+1 minutes in a friendly match to equal Andy Carroll’s goal on Tuesday 29th March 2011.

 After the British High Commission in Accra opened the official book of condolence in honour of Queen Elizabeth II on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, it is now time for him to express his condolences to the United Kingdom.

He was at the British High Commissioner’s office on Thursday, September 14th, 2022 to have his signature signed. He went there with his manager, Amin Addo, to undertake this historical action.

He updated his official Twitter handle after his signature was recorded in the Book of Condolence for the Queen, which the affectionate editors of www.atspo.com spotted.

“On behalf of my family, the football family, and my fans, I signed the book of condolence for the demise of the Great Queen. Wishing the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth my deepest condolences. May the late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Rest In Perfect Peace! Amen. @ukinghana”
