Oly Greats Show Abu Imoro Love

Former Olympics players paid a visit to the home of troubled club legend Abu ‘Tigana’ Imoro on Saturday

Ex-Great Olympics players have called on their former teammate Abu ‘Tigana’ Imoro. 

The once brilliant Olympics/ Black Stars midfielder (in the 80s) now looks dejected and frail due to his addiction to drugs. 

His former colleagues were stirred by Abedi Ayew Pele’s interview on GTV Sports Plus about his brilliance during their playing days to visit him. 

“At first, I used to smoke weed but now, I am into cocaine,” he told TV3 in a recent interview.

“When I went into drugs, I regretted it very much. I will advise the youth, especially young footballers, not to go near drugs. They are now coming up and if you want to play to the highest level, don’t move into drugs. Keep yourself out.”

It has emerged that the former Real Tamale United (RTU) is always found in the company of two other drug addicts who visit refuse dumps to collect broken plastic containers and metal scraps. Sometimes, they engage in theft so they could survive.

Past Olympics greats like George Alhassan, Godwin Attram, Isaac Acquaye, Awuley Quaye and John Naawu paid him a visit over the weekend at his residence to show him love.
