Hearts will never use unqualified player -Zakkour

Accra Hearts of Oak will never make the mistake of fielding an unqualified player knowing very well the rules of the game, Mr Harry Zakkour, chief Executive of the club has stressed.

Mr Zakkour was reacting to a protest by Kumasi Asante Kotoko against the club for fielding Charles Taylor in the19th week Star Premier League encounter at the Kumasi Sports Stadium. Kotoko claimed that Taylor had attracted three yellow cards before playing in the match.

Mr Zakkour, talking to the Times per phone on Wednesday, stated emphatically that he had a letter from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) stating that Taylor had received two yellow cards before the match.
