Legend Abdul Karim Razak has suggested that the Sunyani Coronation Park be named after deceased Black Stars striker Kwasi Owusu.

The 1978 African Footballer of the Year made the appeal to the Sports Minister, Mr Isaac Asiamah, and the Sunyani Traditional Council in an interview with the Daily Graphic.

Owusu, nicknamed 'Power House' was a prolific forward for the national team where he scored 40 goals- including the four goals on his debut in the 9-1 over Niger in Accra on September 21, 1969.

He also scored over a 100 goals for Bofoakwa Tano before retiring from the sport.

Razak argues his former international teammates made Sunyani very popular with his commitment, dedication and selflessness as a player who died last month.

He believes Owusu did more than enough to have his memory honoured .

''I know the Ghana Football Association and the Ministry of Youth and Sports will, as usual, present a cash donation, drinks and perhaps a cow to the family during his funeral, but that will not be enough,'' the Golden Boy said.

''A donation of GH¢1,000 and a cow that will be offered to the family will not be enough because that will be the end, and his name will soon fade away would soon be forgotten.

''It is for this reason that I am appealing that the Sunyani Coronation Park be named after him as a legacy he left for Ghana and Bofoakwa Tano.''
