Emmanuel Quarshie has arrived in Egypt to undergo treatment for throat cancer
Ex-Ghana captain Emmanuel Quarshie has arrived in Egypt to begin treatment of his throat cancer.
His trip has been fully paid for by his former club Zamalek who met him in Accra a fortnight ago ahead of their CAF Champions League clash against Berekum Chelsea.
Quarshie accompanied by former team mate Francis Edzie, left Ghana on Monday night to the Egyptian capital, Cairo, where he will undergo treatment.
It is readily unknown the duration of the duo stay in Egypt but Zamalek are determined to see the full recovery of their former great before he returns to Ghana.
Quarshie was a prominent player for Zamalek during the team’s heyday in the 1980s.
The former Sekondi Hasaacas player helped the Cairo giants to end a six-year Egyptian league drought and was also integral in their maiden CAF Champions League feat in 1984.
He was renowned for his physical prowess and goal-scoring instincts.
Quarshie captained Ghana to win their last Africa Cup of Nations trophy at the 1982 finals in Libya.

Good news but this only tells you how a player with all these achievements in his life can be living a pauper.Footballers mostly have a short playing career so you make hay while the sun shines.Now that you can play because you young,have a plan for the future as a player and not just now.
It is shame that it took this Egyptian team to take him out to be treated.
Why they keep saying he has throat cancer when we were told that he was mis-diagnosed in Ghana but the Egyptians with better medical facilities and qualified doctors than Ghana have actually diagnosed him to be having an early stage Parkinson instead.
