They called Abedi Ayew "Pelé" for a reason. His football carried Marseille to the Champions League in 1993, and he was man of the match in the final.
The Ghana attacking midfielder was African Footballer of the Year in 1991, 1992 and 1993. His career ran from 1978 to 2000 and took in Real Tamale United, Al Sadd, Zurich, Marseille, Lyon, Torino and 1860 Munich.
He also started a football family. His sons André and Jordan Ayew followed him into the game, so the dynasty he founded is a real one.
