Apart from the professional skills to the game of football always displayed on the field of play by talented Ghanaian footballers, there is also another significant thing they always display which is worth emulating by all.

It is about the way Ghanaian professional footballers plying their trade in foreign countries join their various families after breaking from camp anytime they are invited to honor a national assignment.

Before they leave to their various foreign based clubs after their assignments, they are often seen spending a couple of days in their family homes enjoying their favorite dishes, have discussions with their members which all helps to build their physical and mental wellbeing for their foreign assignments are demanding.

A case in point is how the national number one goalie Richard “Olele” Kingston and the national left winger Laryea Kingston, use to share jokes and tell how soccer in Europe is played anytime they were in Accra after national assignment and relaxing in their homes in Teshie.

This was confirmed by naturalized Ghanaian prolific striker Quincy Owusu Abayie, when he was invited to honor a national assignment in Accra last year. During an interview on one of the radio stations, the striker observed the joy of his colleague players were having as they joined their families.

However, so unfortunate, he could not share the same family joy with his colleagues because he could not trace his family home as he said,” whiles my colleagues happily check out of the hotels to join their family members, I felt alone staying in the hotel because I could not trace my family home”.

Listening carefully to the radio interview, Nana Owusu Ansah, Akwamuhene of Kobreso near Ofinso in the Ashanti region who is Quincy Owusu Abayie’s uncle, tried to catch up with him and renewed the family union with him but to no avail as certain personalities around him made it difficult for him to contact him.

Clearly, whoever knows Quincy Owusu Abayie and comes into contact with Nana Owusu Ansah, Akwamuhene of Kobreso and a former executive officer at Ghana Cocoa Board, his son Kwado Boateng Owusu Ansah could tell the biological link through facial resemblance.

No wonder, Quincy’s Cousin Kwado Owusu Ansah, a holder of BA in business administration [banking and finance], tactical play, behavior, on the pitch of the game, his commitment to the game of football at his former colts club Liverpool F/C at Dome, Accra, made him presented a special gift of splendid soccer like his brother that the family is blessed with.

Therefore if the potentials in Kwadwo Boateng Owusu Ansah are harnessed, he could also become a national asset like his cousin Quincy Owusu Abayie and Prince Tagoe who was his colts play mate.

Quincy’s uncle Nana Owusu Ansah, his wife Nana Hemaa Oforiwaa Amanfo of Akropong and cousin Kwadwo Boateng Owusu Ansah, says they are rolling a welcome carpet for him to reunite with the family so that anytime he is in the country for national assignment, he won’t be left out of family togetherness as his colleagues have been enjoying.

The family could be contacted through:
