‘Prime John Boye was better than Chelsea’s Rudiger’ – Charles Taylor

Ghanaian football icon has rated compatriot John Boye over current German center back Antonio Rudiger at the peak of their careers.

Retired Accra Hearts of Oak SC and Asante Kotoko SC dribbling maestro, Charles Asampong Taylor has opined that prime John Boye was a better defender than current Chelsea and German defender, Antonio Rudigar.

Prime John Boye bossed the center back position of the Black Stars for close to a decade spiced by some priceless goals and has now earned the endorsement of his compatriot, Charles Taylor.

In an interview with Angel TV, the Ex-Ghana international did not mince words in heaping kind words on his compatriot when quizzed who was a better defender between John Boye and Antonio Rudiger

“Ghana doesn’t encourage players unless they’re on top. One bad game and you’re thrown away. To me, prime John Boye was better than Rudiger but see how we always roasted John Boye for mistakes Rudiger makes too,” Charles Taylor said on Angel TV.

Ghana’s football ecosystem hailed John Boye’s contribution to the Black Stars both at major tournaments and qualification matches.

He is dubbed by many as one of the finest central defenders to have represented Ghana at the senior national team.
