Former Bibiani GoldStars forward Abednego Tetteh has revealed he received a dental voucher from the Ghana Football Association for finishing as the top scorer of the Ghana Premier League. 

Tetteh finished with the most goals in the league at the of the 2022/23 season, overcoming a nightmare start to the season to clinch that feat. 

The forward started the season with King Faisal before joining the Miners halfway through the campaign, going on to score 18 goals. 

The GFA organised its maiden edition of their awards scheme reward individuals from the previous season earlier this month. 

According to Tetteh, he only received voucher to go and take care of his teeth as his prize. 

"The GFA gave me a GHC5,000 voucher to visit a dentist as my GPL goal king prize. I won't lie, I'm really hurt. How can you give me GHC5,000 to go to a dentist just to wash my mouth, which to me is very disrespectful," he said in an interview as quoted by Ghana SoccerNet. 

“I had the opportunity to renew my contract with Bibiani Gold Stars but because of what I have been through I turned it down. I don’t want to win the GPL goal king and get disrespected like this again. So I rather stay away from the GPL not football entirely. How much is pepsodent?

“Why do you have to tell me to brush my teeth for GHC5,000? Best referee received a car and the best player received GHC20,000 and a Television and I being the top scorer would have appreciated it if they gave me GHC10 airtime rather than the GHC5,000 voucher” he said.

Earlier this week, Tetteh claimed he has retired from ‘playing football for now’ following the recent decision to snub him for the Black Stars.
