No amount of money will persuade me to part with my father’s famous cap – Robert Mensah’s son

Kofi Antoh, the son of great Ghanaian goalie Robert Mensah, has stated that he will never sell his late father’s iconic 50-year-old headgear for whatever price.

He feels bonded to the cap and believes it is wrong to sell the only item that reminds him of his father.

Robert Mensah is considered as one of Ghana’s best goalkeepers, having distinguished himself in the 1950s and 1960s.

He began his career at Ebusua Dwarfs before moving on to Kumasi Asante Kotoko, where he won the Ghana Premier League and the CAF Champions League.

He was the Black Stars’ first-choice goalkeeper when they won the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 1963, the first of Ghana’s four continental trophies.

Robert Mensah used to stir up controversy because of a special cap he wore in games. However, he was stabbed to death in 1971 during a confrontation at a bar.

His famous cap is now in the hands of his son, Kofi Antoh, who has been disabled since birth.

Kofi Antoh, on the other hand, swears he has no intention of selling his father’s famous cap, even if doing so would force him to walk again.

“If I was to sell this over a 50-years-old cap of a legacy, it would have long been done,” he said in an interview with Black Rasta.

“Yes, I am disabled but it’s God who heals. I will not sell it [for any amount]. I am hopeful that I will be well.”
