𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐩? Born in London but grew up in Ghana, West Africa from ages 1 to 9. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥? As a child, playing in Ghana. Watching my dad watch the national team play around the age of 7-8 I thought “I’d like to play for the national team”, not even thinking about what it takes to get to that point. 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞? My brother, dad and mom. Family, even my grandmother. My grandmother was the one who encouraged my mom to allow me to pursue football, even though our culture valued education more. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥? I have younger children, so in my spare time I’m being a parent- reading storytime at night, going to church every Sunday when we can, showcasing my own skills on @uncs37 on IG and putting on challenges. I enjoy interacting with supporters in my off-time. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮? I’m a professional and qualified painter and decorator. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞? Respecting your coaches, players, people who are helping you to progress your career. If you respect someone, your talent will show through and do all the talking. Stay respectful and humble. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝? From one of my old managers, non-league level: “express yourself; always be brave when you’re on the pitch and don’t let anything hold you back.” And that always sticks in my mind, to be direct and positive and enjoy what you get paid for. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐨𝐟? Representing the national team. Being a youngster and thinking I wanted to be a national player, not yet knowing all it would take … And I actually achieved it. Representing my motherland.
