Former Ghana star Junior Agogo to be cremated today
20th September 2019
Former Ghana star Junior Manuel Agogo will be cremated at a private ceremony in London today.
The Ex-Black Stars striker’s tragic demised occurred on Thursday, 22 August at his base in London.
He will be remembered fondly for his contributions at 2008 Africa Cup of Nations on home soil where he scored three goals in six outings as the Black Stars settled for a third-place.
Agogo’s life would change dramatically in 2015, however, suffering a debilitating stroke while out jogging with his dog in a London park.
He was featured in the BBC Four documentary ‘Speechless’ which chronicled his battle, along with others, with aphasia – the impairment of language that affects the ability to speak or comprehend speech and the ability to read and write.
