Former Ghana international, Robert Eshun was confirmed dead on Monday, October 23.
He passed on at the age of 49.

Robert Eshun, popularly known as Ebo Electric is famously remembered for his goal in the final of the 1990 FA Cup.
He was a precious member of Asante Kotoko’s squad that competed in the African Championship squad in the very early 90s.
Eshun’s dazzling performances did not go unnoticed by European clubs, who were keen on signing the young sensation after his outstanding display for Ghana during a U-21 AFCON qualifiers tournament in Egypt.
Eshun played for Asante Kotoko before moving to Belgium to play for Turnhot, Tielen, and Lommel in the early nineties.
The pacy winger also spent time in the Turkish Super Lig with Gazientep before later playing for Sarawak in Malaysia.
Throughout his active football career, Eshun’s extraordinary dribbling skills often left opponents and fans alike in awe.
Farewell Dear Friend! Robert, you were a good friend and a good person. I am so honoured to have had the opportunity to not only play football with you in tournaments around Malaysia and Asia, but to have had you as a dear friend. You gave me many great and happy memories of our times together. Ones that I truly cherish and will remember with fondness and forever! I hope that the time you spent in Malaysia was a happy moment in your life too. As you gave me and many others happy moments in having the privilege to have seen you play. I am so saddened that your life’s journey has come to an end, and that I did not get the opportunity to meet up with you one last time. May Eternal Rest be granted on to you by the Good Lord!
