On two separate occasions, two lawyers from rival camps, Akufo-Addo and Evans Atta Mills were in battles to become President in the 2008 and 2012 elections respectively.

But the two politicians have not been in separate camps all their lives.

The late Prof Mills' old friend, Prof Kofi Asomaning, said Akufo-Addo and Mills once jelled as teammates in the Legon Hall football team at the University of Ghana.

"In sporting activities, he was very much involved. In fact, the current President, His Excellency Akufo-Addo joined us in our second year and both of them were playing for Legon Hall.

"But Professor Mills was playing for the University. He was in the university eleven", Professor Asomaning said in a JoyNews documentary by Paa Kwesi Schandorf.

Here is the documentary which profiles the late head of state from his days at the University of Ghana, all the way to his rise to the Presidency up to his last breath on mother earth.
