The 1992 tournament was all about Abedi Pele, and he duly emerged as the best player at the end of the competition hosted by Senegal.
The three-time African footballer of the year dropped a masterclass in Ghana’s 2-1 win against the Super Eagles to book a place in the final.
Abedi and Prince Polley were on the scoresheet as the Black Stars came back from a goal down to win the match.
