Footballers develop interesting looks and incredible physiques due to their constant training and diet discipline.

Looking and keeping fit is a major priority for footballers because they would need the energy to run across the length and breadth of the pitch for 90 minutes or more.

Regular training, gym sessions as well as regular diet checks however become thing of the past when most footballers bow out of the profession.

A few players are able to maintain the discipline to keep their bodies and fitness after retirement.

GhanaWeb takes a look at some Ghanaian footballers who look out of shape after retirement.

Asamoah Gyan

Gyan, Ghana's all-time top scorer, prior to the 2022 World Cup, said he would like to play for the Black Stars.

The major concern that was raised by many was Asamoah Gyan's physique. Gyan did not get the desired call-up for the tournament.

Samuel Osei Kuffour

Emmanuel Osei Kuffour

Emmanuel Osei Kuffour is one of the most adored players in Ghana's football history. He is a GPL legend who played for Ebusua Dwarfs, Hearts of Oak, and Asante Kotoko.

He is currently in the USA and looks bloated.

Anthony Osei

Former Asante Kotoko goalkeeper, Anthony Osei just like the former Kotoko players on the list is also based in the USA after retirement.

Osei is now out of shape and it would be difficult to believe he was once in post for Asante Kotoko.
