The narrative about President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s connection with sports has focused largely on his association with boxing where he attempted a career at a young age.

The Nima-born Akufo-Addo as per reports and photos tried pugilism at a very early stage of his life.

But what is not known to many people is that, aside from boxing, the young Akufo-Addo was also a footballer.

On the occasion of his 77th birthday, a photo of the young William Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo with his teammates has surfaced online.

So good was Akufo-Addo that he was not just a member of the school team of Lancing College but part of the first eleven.

In the heartwarming photo, Akufo-Addo who happens to be the only black man in the team has his arms fold and spotted afro hair.

The President is known to be a die-hard Tottenham fan and with a soft spot for Kumasi Asante Kotoko
