Former Hearts of Oak striker Prince Tagoe laid his mother to rest over the weekend, drawing support from several Ghanaian football legends who joined him for the solemn occasion.

The late Reverend Joyce Tagoe, who passed away in November 2024 at the 37 Military Hospital, was a dedicated clergywoman of the Kairos Chapel, Matuero Assembly, in East Legon, Accra.
Prince Tagoe, known as one of Ghana Premier League’s most prolific strikers, enjoyed a 16-year professional football career that saw him represent 13 clubs, including Hearts of Oak, Hoffenheim, Club Africain, and Al Ittihad. On the international stage, he earned 36 caps for the Black Stars between 2006 and 2012, contributing seven goals to the national team’s efforts and playing a role in Ghana’s historic 2010 World Cup quarter-final appearance.
Tagoe retired from professional football in 2019, leaving behind a legacy of exceptional talent and dedication to the game.
