		And while the present FA might be taking all the plaudits for the youth development merit award that Ghana would receive from the confederation of African football tonight but there is no denying the fact that this has been long in coming.
		The irony for many people too is that those triumphs have portrayed Ghana as a country unable to optimize its potential because of the failure to translate the dominance at youth level to qualification to the senior world cup.

		Arguably the greatest player in the history of Ghana, Abedi Pele took his name from the great Brazilian striker, and in his way, made just as significant an impact.
		Reaching the final of the 1992/93 UEFA Champions League, Marseille secured a 1-0 win against AC Milan as Basile Boli scored from Pele's cross, and although allegations of match-rigging have haunted the team since, that is to take nothing away from Pele's brilliance or consistency.
		Moving on to Germany to play for TSV 1860 München as his career drew to a close, Pele was able to look back on appearances at five different African Cup of Nations finals as he retired from international football in 1994.

		It may be difficult to substantiate an argument that Pele, by general consensus the finest player yet, is a poor judge of those who play the game.
		While any such list is bound to attract controversy, the inclusion of his namesake Abedi Pele (Ghana), El Hadji Diouf (Senegal) and Hong Myung-Bo (South Korea) smacks of political correctness rather than sound football judgment.
