To Polo, also known as the Dribbling Professor in football circles, he (Louis) demonstrated a high level of integrity the many times they met although they played in different generations.
He said ” Indeed, he was the definition of integrity. He has been consistent at Accra Hearts of Oak Old Players Association AHOPA meetings, and he commanded great respect at our meetings.
“He was the quiet type but he occasionally offered pieces of advice to some of us. I was with him during Anas’ funeral, and he advised me to speed up with any project l am embarking on little did l know that he was the next to leave us.
“He was our senior, but he related to us as though we were playing mates, he was indeed a man of integrity, may Allah keep his soul well.”
Meanwhile, the body would be received by the leadership (Clergy) of Holy Spirit Cathedral in Accra this Friday in the morning which would be followed by a filing past of the body.
A burial Mass would follow later on the same day as well as a private burial. A Thanksgiving service would be held on Sunday.
The building contractor died at age 87, on July 4, leaving behind six children and 11 grandchildren.
