\n
Former Black Stars midfielder, Rabiu Mohammed, has shared the inspirational role that Ghanaian football legend, Sulley Muntari, played in his life.<\/p>\n
Rabiu Mohammed revealed in an interview that he had connections with Sulley Muntari from their days as neighbours in Konongo in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n
He recalled that he used to carry Muntari\u2019s football boots and wash his training kits after Sulley finished playing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI played football here. I came to meet Sulley Muntari, who is like an elder brother to me. I used to carry his boots when he started his career. I was his \u2018small boy,\u2019 so I would wash his jerseys. He started from here, and I joined him. His younger brother is my age mate, so we all used to play together. We had a lot of good players, but not all of them made it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Having succeeded in his career, Rabiu Mohammed has returned to the town to develop the barren pitch where they played.<\/p>\n
According to reports, Rabiu Mohammed is funding the construction of a grass pitch to provide opportunities for other young footballers in the area to realize their talents.<\/p>\n
The defensive midfielder made 31 appearances for the Black Stars, without scoring a goal. He was also part of the Ghana Under-20 squad that made history as the first African country to win the FIFA World Youth Championship.<\/p>\n
He played for clubs in France, Italy, Spain, and Russia.<\/p>\n
