Twitter battles over who was better Don Bortey or Charles Taylor ?
Coronavirus has virtually taken away the joy,livelihood and even threatens our very existence as human race the world over.
Football like any economic,social and almost every activity has suffered a major jolt as a result of the lethal COVID-19 pandemic.
Most people have resorted to social media to keep away the boredom that has engulfed people with the coronavirus induced lock-down and self quarantines being adopted in these trying times.
Ghanaian football fans have been debating who among Bernard ‘Dada Diouf’ Don Bortey and Charles Taylor was better.
Interestingly these two sides played for Hearts of Oak with Charles Taylor a part of the famous 64 battalion squad that won the first ever Champions league trophy for the phobians while Bortey won four league titles and the Caf Confederations cup.
With Taylor, he marred his Hearts of Oak legacy by crossing the divide to play for sworn enemies Asante Kotoko at a time most people believed he was on the decline but for a transfer record on the local scene.
The two players in 2002 finished as the joint goal kings in the local league with 18 league goals in 30 matches.
The debate has been raging on twitter with football fans and pundits alike all sharing their thoughts on these two talented players who once graced our turfs and entertained millions.
SOME VIEWS BELOW:
There isn't a single metric bar pace that Don Bortey is better than Charles Taylor in. Charles Asmapong Taylor is your ultimate attacker or wing forward. He was the complete package and had everything. First time I saw him play was at Sefwi Asawinso in 97. #TerribleTerrorTaylor

I respect Benard Don Bortey for the many heartbreaks he gave me as a young fan of Kotoko but Taylor the Terror was mesmerizing. I was star struck and in tears 😭 e day I had the opportunity to talk to him in Berekum, man just cuddled me and said enjoy me in Twi! True story

Have seen this debate here on who was a better footballer between Don Bortey, Charles Taylor and Emmanuel Osei Kuffour. No doubt that all these 3 guys were amazing footballers but I will pick Stephen Oduro(Yaw Zico) over all these guys on any day. Stephen Oduro was far better!

Charles Taylor was inherently talented and could woow fans with his skill set while Don Bortey was another talented player who could score decisive goals from nowhere I will chose Taylor over Bortey any day. He was a pure delight to watch in his prime

A reminder that in 2002 Charles Taylor and Don Bortey shared the golden boot in the #GPL after scoring 18 goals each in 30 games for Hearts of Oak.That's the only time two players from the same team have shared the golden boot in the #GPL #PhobiaFans 🇹🇩

I agree. Don Bortey's abilities exaggerated. And I saw him. Not consistent enough, no discipline. I always struggle to understand. https://t.co/9sgFCnPtIv

Even Don Bortey knows that Charles Taylor is better than him. This is a hands down win for Taylor#angelsports
