I have come to spend some few weeks in Sunyani and guess who I just came across right after the Black Satellites won their third place match over Iraq. This is a young champ who is just blowing the airwaves with the hottest sports analysis in the Brong Ahafo Region. I thought of taking an advantage to grant this interview with him for you our dear IMB Readers. I call him Sheriff the Octopus  | |||||||||

Sadick Adams who is currently with angel fm in Kumasi
IMB: How did he
discover you?
SHERIFF: Well I
used to call on his sports programs from Dinpa fm through to Storm fm all in
Sunyani.So one day he asked that I should feature on the weekend sports at
Storm fm since he kind of like my contributions.
IMB: Would you
say he is the best in town?
SHERIFF : Yes, because he is vest in presenting and analyzing sports
news items.
IMB: For how long
have been doing this?
SHERIFF: Barely a
year on radio but have been doing with friends for quiet a looooooooooooooong
time
IMB: How was it
for the first time on radio?
SHERIFF: Cool.
But kind of tensed up.
IMB: Would you
say what you have is talent or love for the game?
SHERIFF: Both.
IMB: Who in Ghana
sports presentation is your role model?

like Mr.kwabena Yeboah for his presentation and Jeffery Asare for his analysis.

IMB: Sheriff the octopus,
I know this question is tight and personal but I need an answer.Kwabena yeboah
and Jeffery Asare,whose place would you want to take soon?
SHERIFF: Kwabena
yeboah
IMB: Ok no
comments. What do you think contributed to the black satellites losing out the
world under 20 championships to France?
SHERIFF: I think that their semi-final match against France was a
very tactical game .The players were not
possessing the ball on the pitch well .The players were a little
bit lacking finishing and understanding
among themselves and also the absent of
Joseph Attamah Larweh, Lawrence Lartey and Moses Odjer affected the team .Also, Seidu Salifu who was
the right-back on that very match was a big blow to Ghana. France,on the other
hand was a good side.Their mid-field
almost break-up on the latter part of the first half. Fortunately for
them Eric Ofori Antwi was injured and scored their second goal to secure their
chances of going to final of the tournament.
IMB: Who was your
favorite among the satellites?
SHERIFF: Ebenezer
Assifuah
IMB: What would
you say about the coach’s performance?
SHERIFF: Sellas Tetteh
really did well because he only accessed the U-20 players for a little period
of time so he was lucking team work and some quality players since every man is not perfect. Some peoples were
having some few problems in his line-up.
IMB: Do you think
of leaving your current radio station for any other?
SHERIFF: Well not
in mind now. but if any offer comes, well we will see what to do.
IMB:Last question sherriff.how can one reach you?
