One of Accra Hearts of Oak’s finest midfielders in recent past, Edmund Copson, has disclosed he regrets his days at Phobians’ end.
Copson, currently domiciled in the UK stated that the successes the team chalked in 2000 did not in any way reflect in the pockets of the playing body saying, “It was all over the place that each player received $25,000 for winning the Champions League. If a player like Jacob Nettey received such an amount, I have no idea, as far as I am concerned, I did not receive such money from anybody.”
And to Copson, that and many other factors compelled him to leave the shores of Ghana for greener pastures in the UK.
He told Happy FM’s morning show host Charles Osei Asibey on Tuesday that some dishonest top officials of Hearts put impediments in the way of players which frustrated them. He left, according to him, in bitterness.
The challenges which led to his exit notwithstanding, the brilliant midfielder has given the assurance that he was putting pieces together and that he will bounce back in the next few months.
Copson revealed that he was considering a comeback and that he was ready to re-launch his career with any club, even if a Division 3 side just to sharpen up.
To him, football is an art and with adequate training, one is bound to excel and therefore does believe in the use of ‘foreign substances’ as energy booster in games.
Reminded of his nickname “Ginseng” among Hearts fans during his playing days at Hearts, Copson burst out laughing, saying, he recalls hearing name once on the field of play. “I do drink occasionally, but I do not drink Ginseng liquor.”
He also recalls with nostalgia his winning goal in a difficult Hearts of Oak vs. Liberty Professionals encounter which the Phobians won 2-1.
