Rahim Ayew, one of Abedi Pele’s footballing sons has said that his family’s name will forever be remembered in the history of Ghana football.
The Ayew family has produced different generations of footballers who have gone on to play for the Black Stars.
Abedi Ayew ‘Pele’ was a national treasure in the 1980s and 1990s and was part of the team that won the country’s last AFCON trophy.
He was also named African Footballer of the Year three times and won the UEFA Champions League with Olympique Marseille.
Abedi’s brother Kwame Ayew was also a member of the Ghana national team in the 90s and 2000s, as well as Sola Ayew.
Three of his four children, Rahim, Andre and Jordan, have also gone on to play for the national teams, with Dede being the Black Stars’ current captain.
Speaking about the contributions of the Ayew family to Ghana football, Rahim said the family’s name has been immortalised.
“Insults don’t bother us. If you compare our lives of that of the people who insult us, there’s a big difference. So why should you waste your time on such a person?” he said on Adom TV.
“People can try to take us out of Ghana football but the name will still remain. The name [Ayew] will still remain even after some years.
“What God has ordained, no man can change it. Even if they take us out, we still have children so the name Ayew will still be in football.”
