Ex-Asante Kotoko striker, Eric Bekoe has named Black Stars defender, Jonathan Mensah as the toughest customer he has faced.

“Jonathan Mensah is the toughest defender I have met in my career.”

“I remember a game between Kotoko and the then Obuasi Goldfields now AshantiGold played at Brong Ahafo.”

“Jonathan Mensah made sure I was out of the game completely that very day.”

“He marked me out of the game and I can say I never had it easy in that match.”

Bekoe played just a season at Kotoko but left a mark at the Porcupine Warriors.

He was the top scorer in the 1997/1998 season with 13 goals where he also won the league with Kotoko.
