Today in history: Former Black Stars striker Junior Agogo passes on

Former Black Stars striker, Junior Manuel Agogo, died three years ago on this day, August 22.

Agogo passed away in 2019 in a London hospital at the age of 40 after suffering from a stroke in 2015.

The best memory of Agogo in the national colours is his performance in the 2008 AFCON hosted in Ghana. He scored the match-winner against Nigeria to send Ghana to the semi-finals.
