Hearts of Oak legend, Bernard Dong Bortey has revealed that his first child who he’s named after himself is also talented and will play football although he is in his first year at the University of Ghana.

Dong Bortey disclosed that it’s his son’s desire to play football but he wants to focus on his education in order not to replicate the mistakes he did.

According to Bortey, he and other players signed a contract they didn’t have any idea about because they could not read to under the details.

“I want to give my first born to Yusif Chibsah to handle him as agent. The boy is a very good footballer and plays for the national U-17 team. His name is Bernard Dong Bortey Jr. and he’s also coming up. 

“He goes to school, a student at Legon, level 100.

“I didn’t go to school that much so I want him to marry all the two for him so he gets both education and football because our time wasn’t like that. 

“As for Chibsah he managed to go to school but as for me I was sturborn so I didn’t want to be in school because I wanted to be a great footballer. 

“I was indeed great but I should have learnt how to read and know how to sign deals so that when you’re entering to a 15 years deal you know. It’s true when you here that people have signed deals for 10 years at Accra Hearts of Oak. You can call Luis Agyemang and ask him”.
