Black Stars and Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan has been adjudged the Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) Sports Personality of the year, 2010. He also picked up the Association’s Footballer of year to crown a glorious 2010 season which saw him lead the Black Stars to their first ever Nation’s Cup silver medal in 18 years and an historic quarter final berth for the Black Stars in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The two awards are his first since he last won an award in 2003. Speaking to the media after a colourful ceremony illuminated by his admirable dance steps and the famous African Girl song, which he performed with Castro, the Sunderland striker could not hide his joy. He said the award will spur him on to greater feats in the future, stating he will not be "swollen headed by the award." The Black Stars was also adjudged the team of the year with its ex-skipper Stephen Appiah decorated with a special award for his dedication and valour for the Black Stars. Other outstanding Sports Personalities were duly awarded for their immense contribution to the development of Ghana through Sports. Mumuni Abubakri of New Edubiase beat challenges from Ahmed Toure of Kotoko and New Edubiase's Emmanuel Clottey to win the premiership player of the year.
