Bro, you're only saying what some of us have said and maintained for years. It's heartbreaking we don't have footage of Polo today to show the younger ones. Pity KZfaq didn't exist in the 70s

@@benardboateng1501 When you don't see something with your own eyes and people talk about it you will never believe it. Those of us saw him believed that he was better than Messi.

​@@benardboateng1501 history will one day tell you that Messi (and dare I say Cristiano Ronaldo) were better players than Ronaldinho, simply because of the accolades and success they won. Yet, anyone that knows his football will tell you that when it comes down to technical ability on the ball, Messi and CR7 come nowhere near Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho could do things with the ball that Messi and CR7 could only dream off. I threw in that comparative analysis because the same argument holds when it comes to Mohammed Polo. Those of us who saw him play, have been forever grateful for that privilege to this day. It's not nostalgia at all, trust me. After all, we've also seen the great players of later or recent years and surely should be qualified to pass accurate judgement on players from both eras. Our assessment isn't based on hearsay or some written account. No, we've witnessed all these players play in real life. Polo at 17 years old, was part of the now-legendary Fearsome Fivesome of Accra Hearts of Oak in 1977. The Fearsome Fivesome are still the most revered front line in Ghana club football history and guess who was the most feared of that quintet? Yes, 17-year-old Mohammed Polo !! That should tell you all you need to know about the man. Some people are born with God-given footballing talent and Polo is one. Their natural ability isn't learned or coached. They're just born with it. Period.

R M I couldn’t agree more. These kids have missed something real phenomenal

😁😁😁... You must be an OG. Im in my 40s and even with that, I was too young to remember any of his on-field excellence when me and my older cousins used to watch him play against Kototo which I despised and Great Olympics on a black and white 📺 in the early 80s. 😂

Kwabena Yeboah said same about him.

@@alimi-yaoadam7838 well said........and lest we forget, Kwabena Yeboah is unashamedly a massive Kotoko fan and journalist and yet even he is in awe of Polo.

I have never seen any player on this planet who plays football better than Polo. World's best ever.

Ghana has already for gotten him That time Ghana has public radio call akasanoma locations in stations

God bless you

True to a very great extent. Polo was actually 'The Dribbling Magician'. He was simply a deight to watch. Mohammed Ahmed, you are a true sccer legend.

*soccer legend*

Bro Polo, I even remember you scored a a goal a goal a goal against Burkina Faso, then UV. Charley, you be brutal paa. Poloooooo

Thats why late Winston Davis and Joe Lartey described him whenever he was on the ball as the "Dribbling magician Mohammed Ahmed Polo".And we had a lot of quality players at that time in various clubs.Da Oppong,Old Gyabaa,Abdul Razak,Kwesi Owusu,Dan Owusu,Agyeman Prempeh,Big Joe Sam,Addai Kyenkyenhene,The Paha brothers and their cousin Collins,Isaac Acquaye(Disco face)Awule Quaye,James Kuuku Dadzie,Robert Folley,The man with 99 styles forgotten his real name,Mama Acquah,Thunder Anas Seidu,Peter Lamptey,Offei Ansah,Adolf Armah,John Essien,John Quarshie,Joe Carr,Malik Jabir, etc.Somebody continue the list

God bless you bro

yes yes yes! I was telling somebody about this. Polo at Kotobabi park. I remember he scored this swerving free kick one time at Monday stars.

​@@eugenea7886I saw that free kick too.Some player tipped the ball up for him slot in that great goal.

Ahamed Osebo I think you wanted to say Abukari Gariba

@@adantephil8833 I'm sure he wanted to say Abukari Damba. Have you forgotten him? The brilliant Goalkeeper of RTU and later Olympics in the 80s?

​@user-gc5dx8fj5u NO, from the list of players he mentioned he actually wanted to mention Abukari Gariba.

Hi you can contact him on +233277438006

you indeed a living legend instead of Ghana to pay back you guys what you guys have suffered for they will go for white coaches

Great recollection, although I think you meant Bengally Sylla, a player who also had a sweet left foot and was equally feared on the continent during the 70s and early 80s. Papa Camara was the marauding attacking midfielder for Hafia (a bit like our Mama Acquah), but also their captain and heartbeat. I still remember his trademark goatee 😊

@@ridimahnortey453so if he was good as a player but bad as a coach,Ghana should hire him as a coach

​. I fully agree with you on this one. Bengally Sylla was the player of the Hafia club of Guinea who dribbled like Polo.

The year was 1977. It was with Mufulira Wanderers. We were 5-2 down, semi-final 2nd leg of the elusive African Cup and with 20 minutes to go. Polo delivered his magic on a day and in a manner never again seen in Ghana football and before long, my beloved Hearts of Oak were in the Final for the first time. Polo is unquestionably the most talented player Ghana has ever produced and nobody who saw him will ever dispute that.

Is Robert Mensah in that group? African goalkeeper # One

Robert Mensah was before Polo and Dan Oppong era.

@@rickeyossei7238 Thanks Bro Osei

A lot of their videos got burnt at the GBC

Oh bro then you have missed paaa oooh. Oh my God! This man was something else. Nobody comes close to him. His left foot was magic.

No player comes near him.

Sure.

I think the video editor did a poor job; just joining segments which doesn’t seem to follow each other

Go and do ur own interview, u people complain too much

No phobia was his mother club. We of hearts don't care about that.

Bro, you read the article too

@@zuchotheghost yessir, wondering the same thing if he really was or nit

My bro u never watch this man playing das y. Ask about polo they will tell u.

@@asas4719 tell me about it. Cause there are no videos of him so idk

@@zeeeabhaize3244 and sadly, that is the travesty. Believe me, us the thousands of people who saw Polo cannot be making this up. The man was a genius on the ball and simply incomparable.
