The striker who won three premier league trophies with Ashantigold SC maintained that much of his life centred on playing football, therefore, he had no other interest as a young man.
“I never engaged in any extramarital affairs even though I married at a very tender age, I would not say I didn’t have any other thing doing. As a man, you have something that keeps you busy; we were offered two bottles of Guinness by our British Coach David Booth when I played for Ashantigold, it was to relax our nerves.
“That was the only thing I enjoyed beyond Playing Football, and in those days, you only needed to make a request after matches and Guinness was readily offered,” he said.
Nana Frimpong was a member of the Black Stars team that failed to qualify for the 1994 World cup in the USA.
He has also played for Asante Kotoko and King Faisal.
