Hearts Of Oak Legend, Don Bortey Wasn’t Allowed To Enter Inner Perimeter Of The Stadium .

Something surprising and a little sad happened at a Hearts of Oak football game today against Asante Kotoko at Accra Sports Stadium . A famous former player named Bernard Don Bortey came to watch the match, but he was not allowed to go inside the special area near the field, called the inner perimeter.
This upset many fans. Why? Because Don Bortey is a legend,in fact a hero to Hearts of Oak supporters. He played for the team in the early 2000’s and helped them win big matches in the Ghana Premier League and across Africa. People still remember his amazing skills and how proud he made them feel.
When he came to the stadium, everyone thought he would be welcomed with smiles and maybe even cheers. But instead, the security at the gate told him he couldn’t go past a certain point. He had to stay in the public area like a regular fan. People who saw it said Don Bortey looked very sad and surprised.
This has made a lot of people ask questions. Shouldn’t old players who did great things for the team be treated with more respect? Many fans think yes. They believe Don Bortey should be honored, not ignored.
Right now, Hearts of Oak is trying to get stronger again. The team is working hard to win more games and bring back their winning spirit. Many fans say that remembering and respecting their past heroes, like Don Bortey, could help bring back that strong team feeling.
Even if the security was just doing their job, the club’s leaders should have made sure something like this didn’t happen. It felt like the team forgot about one of its greatest players.
If Hearts of Oak wants a bright future, they must also remember their past and the people who helped make it great.
