Asante Kotoko legend Osei Kofi: A fan brought his son for a sacrifice

Former Asante Kotoko attacker Osei Kofi has highlighted the club's unique bond with fans, revealing a supporter once presented his son for human sacrifice to restore the club's good fortune.

Regarded as the greatest player to have ever featured for the Porcupine Warriors by a section of fans, Kofi spent 14 years with the club between 1961 and 1975.

Among his highlights, the winger helped Kotoko win the 1970 African Cup of Champions Clubs [now Caf Champions League], a year after scoring four times to become the first Ghanaian to score four goals in a Caf inter-club game.
