Karim Abdul Razak

Harry Thompson, on commentary at the 1978 Africa Cup of Nations, called him the Golden Boy after the goal that put Tunisia out in the semi-final, and he had already settled the group match against Zambia the same way. Ghana lifted the trophy on home soil for their third title, and he was named African Footballer of the Year later that year, the second Ghanaian after Ibrahim Sunday to take the award. Career record: 62 caps and 25 goals for Ghana; club career at Asante Kotoko, New York Cosmos, Al Ain.
