A young Dede Ayew flexing his muscles on the wall
A resurfaced video from 1995 has captured a light-hearted moment in Ghanaian football history, when a young André “Dede” Ayew playfully stole the show during his father Abedi Pele’s television interview with GBC.
At the time, Abedi was addressing allegations surrounding senior Black Stars players refusing to travel to Australia for a three-match friendly series.
He calmly explained that, after a long season and with players having received just $400 each for a previous trip to Norway, fatigue rather than disobedience was behind their decision to stay back.
But while the maestro discussed serious matters, little Dede was busy creating his own spectacle in the background.

The future Ghana captain could be seen climbing onto the wall, peeping into the camera, striking poses, crossing his legs, and even flexing his tiny muscles, unaware he was making television history of his own.
Nearly three decades later, the clip has resurfaced, reminding fans not just of Abedi’s leadership during turbulent times but also of the boyish charisma of his son, who would grow up to lead the Black Stars himself.
