Yaw Frimpong alias Nana Pooley a staunch supporter of Asante Kotoko encouraged the club’s fans to pray for the team in their game against Nsoatreman.
The deceased fan noted that Kotoko’s chances of winning the league would be impacted by their performance in their next two away matches which were against Nsoatreman F.C and Young Apostles.
Pooley called on Kotoko supporters residing in the Bono Region to come out in their numbers to support the team, boosting the players’ morale to win the game.
In an interview with King Eben on Lawson FM, the deceased fan expressed optimism about Kotoko defeating Nsoatreman.
“With the two away matches against Nsoatreman and Young Apostles, if we manage to get four points, it will be fine. Nsoatreman defeated us last season, so I would like us to beat them and draw against Apostles. The players have assured us that they would win the games.
“I would urge the fans to pray for the team. Those in Dormaa, Sunyani, Berekum, and its surroundings should come and support us. I would never underrate Nsoatreman because they have a good team with a better coach,” he said in Twi.
Unfortunately, Pooley was fatally stabbed during a melee at the match on January 2, 2024.
Multiple reports suggest he was stabbed five times and succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) have banned Nsoatreman from using their home venue and initiated a probe into the violent incident to identify and punish the culprits.
