Former Ghana international John Mensah has revealed that he spends most of his time at church since retiring from professional football seven years ago.
The ex-Black Stars captain, known for his pivotal role in Ghana's football history, now dedicates his time to spreading the word of God.
Mensah played a significant role for the Black Stars during their impressive run to the quarterfinals of the 2010 FIFA World Cup and their second-place finish in the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations.
“I’m just keeping myself in the church all the time, so I'm always visiting the church because I'm not on the field anymore so that's how I'm keeping myself cool.” John said at the Ghana Football Awards ceremony.
“My church is a resurrection power, new-generation church. So I'm just worshiping them. But I keep my feet to the God Almighty to worship Him well and also advise my people and also to do evangelism to my people to also know God very well.
The former Sunderland defender amassed 86 caps and scored three goals for the national team.
