Dan Quaye, a former Ghanaian international, claims that the lack of discipline among young players caused him to leave professional football too soon.
Considered one of the greatest full backs to have ever competed in domestic games, Dan Quaye concluded his playing career with the Great Olympics in 2017.
Before winning a big transfer to Hearts of Oak, a regional rival, the tough-tackling defender began his playing career with the Dade boys in 1997.
Before quitting, Quaye continued to play for other clubs in Ghana and beyond.
The defender returned to the Great Olympics to play for his boyhood club before retiring.
“I retired prematurely from football,” Quaye remarked in an interview with Bryt FM. I could have played for longer, but I had to stop because of the lack of discipline among the younger players.
I attempted to mold young athletes at the Great Olympics, but they lacked discipline and were not prepared to follow instructions. To protect myself, I decided to stop playing there. If I hadn’t retired, I might have behaved in an unprofessional manner.
He went on to say, “We should ask ourselves why Sulley Muntari left Hearts of Oak.”
The Hearts of Oak team that won the CAF Champions League in 2000 included Dan Quaye.
In addition, he played for the Black Stars in the 2006 World Cup. Between 2001 and 2006, Quaye earned ten appearances for the national team.
