Ed Dove shares his ‘behind the scenes’ experience of the 2019 West African Football Association Cup of Nations in Thies, Senegal
“Hi Ed.” It was another message from Liberia coach Robert Lartey, with whom I had developed a warm relationship at the Wafu Cup of Nations. “I’ve damaged my phone, it mistakenly fell in the water.”
All, it seems, was not well in the Lone Stars camp, although it wasn’t immediately apparent how Mr. Lartey was able to contact me at all, considering that his phone had been decommissioned.
“It fell in the water right after our game, when I reached the hotel trying to use the rest room,” Robert continued.
