Very sad news out of Sunyani this morning says that former Ghanaian footballer Kwasi Owusu has passed away few hours after the demise of former Ghana and Asante Kotoko striker Opoku Afriyie.

The legendary striker died on Sunday from unconfirmed causes.

Kwasi Owusu captained Ghana for several years in an 1960s and 70s and represented Ghana at two Africa Cup of Nations, attending one Olympics Games tournament in 1972 and held the record of all-time certified top goalscorer for Ghana with 36 goals until 2013 where Asamoah Gyan beat that record.

In 1972 Africa Cup of Nations, Owusu netted three times to take the Black Stars to the finals where Ghana lost out to Sudan.
