Former Asante Kotoko and BA United defender, Godfred ‘Tv3’ Yeboah has been confirmed dead by family members according to sources close to the footballer, skyypowerfm.com has learned.
The 41-year-old was believed to have been unwell for sometime now and was rushed to the hospital last Sunday when his condition appeared to have deteriorated but passed away on Tuesday morning.
Yeboah started his professional football career B.A United and became a cult hero among the club’s top hierarchy and supporters before joining Asante Kotoko in 2003.
In Kumasi, his surging runs on the left wing as well as accurate crosses gave him the name TV3 since it was always without a mistake. He was with Kotoko until 2008 where he parted ways with the club.
Yeboah died at the Sunyani Government Hospital and the family is now preparing to officially notify Asante Kotoko and Ghana FA since he was a former international.
Yeboah made his Black Stars debut in 2003 against Benin in an international friendly. He went on to make four appearances in total before hanging his boots.
Until his unfortunate demise, Yeboah was residing at Fiapre near Sunyani where he built a house and was staying with his family.
