Coach Annor Walker

Coach Annor Walker has returned to Accra Great Olympics after a surprise move to Samreboi FC.

How interesting the story of this returnee coach is. He did not go to Sekondi Hasaacas but to Accra Great Olympics. The 62-year-old Annor Walker used to be the midfield dynamo of Hasaacas in the early 1980s, ending time in the spotlight in 1984.

Ironically, the football club he is coaching today was a fierce rival of Hasaacas, and almost all the matches between them at the time ended in draws.

The following were the regular line-ups of Accra Great Olympics and Sekondi Hasaacas in 1983.
