Ghanaian footballers have played football in Europe significantly since the 1980s.

One way in which Ghanaians measure whether their heroes are appreciated by Europeans is whether they are the captains of their teams.

Hundreds of Ghanaians, if not thousands of people, have been playing professional football in Europe since the 1980s. If Ghanaians measure themselves if our players are appreciated, it is if these players took on the role of captain.

A captain must reunite his players, which requires the respect of all.

These current Ghanaian and ex-professional players have managed to be substantial captains of top European teams.
