Former Ghana striker Polley backs Yeboah in 1992 Afcon captaincy 'attack' on Baffoe and Abedi

Former Ghana international Prince Opoku Polley has waded into the Black Stars' 1992 Africa Cup of Nations captaincy saga, saying defender Anthony Baffoe should have rejected the armband for the final clash with Cote d'Ivoire.

After captain Abedi Ayew Pele picked up a booking in the semi-final win over Nigeria and consequently became ineligible for the final, assistant skipper Anthony Yeboah was snubbed as the armband was handed to Abedi's roommate Baffoe.

Yeboah recently accused Baffoe of scheming to earn the captaincy and attributed the final loss to the "unfair" decision.
