I have never tasted alcohol in my life – Asamoah Gyan

Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan has stunned Ghanaian fans everywhere by revealing he’s never tasted alcohol before in his entire life.

Gyan indicated that although he has been attending and organising parties he’s never had a pint of beer in his life.

Speaking in an interview with Angel FM in Accra ahead of his book launch, the former Sunderland attacker opened up about keeping focused as a player, revealing he doesn’t drink to ensure he is ready to play every game when called upon.

“I’ve never tasted alcohol in my life, I go to parties, I do parties but I don’t drink any alcohol .what makes me happy is a comedy, I like Dr. Likee.”

Gyan is Ghana’s all-time top scorer with 51 goals in 106 appearances.

An extraordinary marksman, Gyan has played in six AFCON tourneys — 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2017.

He is on record as the man who scored Ghana’s first-ever FIFA World Cup goal — a second-minute strike against the Czech Republic at the 2006 tournament in Germany — and the country’s last World Cup goal, a 57th-minute header against Portugal at the 2014 edition in Brazil.
