Among other players he had to choose between were Sammy Adjei and James Nanor, where he picked Sammy Adjei, and Amankwah Mireku over Joe Aggrey. He also chose Emmanuel Osei Kuffuor over Anthony Annan, while he passed on the chance to select between two of the best strikers to grace the Ghana Premier League: Don Bortey and Charles Taylor.
Widely regarded as the ‘King of Goals’, Ishmael Addo scored 103 goals in 124 appearances for the Phobians, winning four league titles, two FA Cups, the CAF Champions League, and the CAF Super Cup. He also won three Golden Boot awards as the top scorer in the Ghana Premier League between 1999 and 2001.
