Charles Taylor Petitions Hearts of Oak to Name Pobiman Pitches After ’64 Battalions’

Accra: Former Accra Hearts of Oak winger, Charles Taylor has called on the club's hierarchy to name the Pobiman training pitches after members of the '64 Battalions' squad.

According to Ghana Web, Taylor emphasized that the 64 battalions' contributions to the club's global image deserve proper recognition. He suggested that a board with pictures of the 64 battalions be placed on the training ground, allowing players to easily identify and appreciate those who laid the foundation for the club's success.

Taylor remarked, "The game played by the 64 battalions isn't a game for kids, others played before us but we were able to achieve what no one has achieved." The "64 Battalions' squad, under the legendary coach Cecil Jones Attuquayefio, won Accra Hearts of Oak's only CAF Champions League title after defeating Esp©rance de Tunis in 2000. Accra Hearts of Oak added the Ghana Premier League and FA Cup to complete a historic treble.
