Striker Osei Kofi on how the Ghanaian football team dominated Africa in the 1960s.
In the 1960s, the Ghanaian football team dominated Africa, winning tournament after tournament.
Known as the Black Stars, they were an exciting attacking force which President Kwame Nkrumah hoped would help promote African unity.
But in 1965, the Ghanaians faced an uphill struggle in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations in Tunis.
Their star striker, Osei Kofi, remembers the match for Witness.
