Charles Taylor Asampong, a former Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko player, has revealed that he does not know the actual amount of goals he scored throughout his career and has asked the Ghana Football Association to give him the figures.
Taylor claimed in a recent interview that despite being recognised for his goal-scoring abilities and assists during his playing days, he does not know the exact amount of goals he scored in the Ghana Premier League.
“I believe I scored over 67 goals for Hearts of Oak.” “I don’t know the exact number of goals I scored, but I may have scored more than 67,” Charles Taylor confessed on Fox FM in Kumasi on Tuesday.
“I think I scored six goals in one season at Kotoko.” Complete data compilation has been a difficulty in the way we do things here. If you compare our period to now, you will see that statistics such as goals scored and games played by players were not recorded during our time.
He wants the GFA and statisticians to disclose records of his statistics,.
“As players, that is not our duty. Such task should be done by humans.”
“The last time I went to the GFA, they showed me my Ghana Black Stars data; I played 64 matches and scored 19 goals, but I didn’t know so I took a screenshot,” Charles Taylor ended.
To maintain players’ successes and records, Charles Taylor emphasised the need of having committed staff accountable for proper data collecting and statistics.
