15 sportsmen and women were inducted into a Ghana sports Hall of Fame in 2004 by the then Sports minister Kwadwo Baah Wiredu. 14 of the 15 were names many people expected to see on the list. The 15th name however shocked many - Capt Andy Sam (rtd). 

What many did not know was that Andy Sam was a very good hockey player and cricketer in his day. He captained the team to win the first ever African Hockey Championship in 1974 in Egypt and then a World Cup appearance in 1975.
