15 sportsmen and women were inducted into a Ghana sports Hall of Fame in 2004 by the then Sports minister Kwadwo Baah Wiredu. 14 of the 15 were names many people expected to see on the list. The 15th name however shocked many - Capt Andy Sam (rtd). 

What many did not know was that Andy Sam was a very good hockey player and cricketer in his day. He captained the team to win the first ever African Hockey Championship in 1974 in Egypt and then a World Cup appearance in 1975.

Have you ever wondered why Ghana’s Abedi Pele for just how good he was never got to play at the World Cup? Have you wondered why that team of 1992 was arguably one of Ghana’s best teams but they never made it to the World Cup? 

This episode explores that in many ways. That game against Algeria that would have set up a showdown between Ghana and Nigeria for a place at the 1994 World Cup and the Black Stars capitulation in a far away city in the North African country.  A GCR Production - Africa's Premiere Podcast Network
