Top management members and players of Asante Kotoko were present to pay respects to deceased fan, Francis Frimpong aka Nana Pooley, at his one-week observation in Kumasi.
Pooley died after being stabbed during a matchday 19 clash against Nsoatreman, two weeks ago, in Nsoatre.
The Interim Management Committee (IMC) Chairman of Asante Kotoko, Nana Apinkra, Technical Director, Kwasi Appiah, together with some members of the back room staff and players were present to sympathize with the grieving family.
The heartbreaking ceremony was also attended by some Ghana Premier League clubs including Bechem United and Hearts of Oak, and other top figures in Ghana football.
