Attram to end his career at Olympics

Accra, Jan 27, GNA - Godwin Attram, a former national captain of the Black Satellites has said that he will return to his mother club, Accra Great Olympics before retiring from active football.

The former PSV Eidhoven player believes that is the only way to bid farewell to the Club that brought him to the limelight.

Attram who plies his trade in Saudi Arabia with Al Shabab told the Attram revealed this when he presented some equipment to the Club at their Teshie training grounds last Friday.

The items consisted of two sets of Adidas jerseys, six footballs and two goalkeepers' gloves.

Attram said his gesture was in fulfilment of an earlier promise made to the team at a similar function two years ago. "I promised them that I will provide some equipment when they return to the Premiership and I'm here to fulfil that promise." He assured the Club of his unflinching support to the team anytime he is called upon to do so.

Mr. Eric Afotey Odai, Chairman of Olympics commended the former national star for his effort and urged other former players of the Club to emulate the player for his gesture.

He said the player's donation will go a long way to boost the Club's performance in the remaining matches of the Onetouch Premier League.

Earlier, Mr. Tetteh Odjidja, a fan of Great Olympics resident in the United States also presented a set of jerseys to the Club.
