Asante Kotoko have marked the one-year anniversary of the “untimely passing” of their supporter Francis Frimpong, known as “Nana Pooley.”
The staunch Porcupine was stabbed to death on February 2, 2025, in Nsoatre during a Premier League clash between Kotoko and Nsoatreman.
He was spotted lying on the ground with blood oozing from his stomach.
"We stand together to remember a fallen supporter whose life was cut short by mindless hooliganism; a tragedy that should never happen again,” Kotoko said in a statement.
"The pain of his absence is still felt every day. Pooley lived for the beautiful game, and while some hooligans took his life, they can never take away his memories, the joy, and the love he brought to the stands.”

No one has been found guilty or prosecuted, as the case still lingers in court with eight people standing trial.
"Today, we call for continued justice and recommit ourselves to ensuring our game centres remain a place of safety and unity, free from violence,” the club added.
The incident marred last season’s Premier League, with the competition halted for over a month to allow stakeholder discussions and the introduction of enhanced safety and security protocols.
Following the acts of hooliganism, Nsoatreman FC withdrew from the competition.
