Marcel Desailly admires his sculptured image

Marcel Desailly honoured with sculptured image
Retired Ghanaian footballer Marcel Desailly was
honoured with the unveiling of a sculptured image
of himself by UK-based form Image and Likeness on
Friday.

The unveiling of the statue which was done by
Ghana’s Sports Minister Mahama Ayariga at the
Lizzy Sports Complex was in celebration of the
life-time achievements of the former France
captain.

Desailly, 46, after 20 years of active football
and several years of ambassadorial roles has used
his time and image to promote through the power of
football to change lives especially amongst
children.

His state of the art Lizzy Sports Complex provides
the quality facilities needed for the next
generation of Ghanaian kids to also aspire to
achieve greatness as he did during his playing
career.

Sports Minister Mahama Ayariga hailed the impact
made by the former AC Milan and Chelsea star at
the event to unveil the sculptured image.

“We live in the times where people who have
achieved greatness keep their route to success as
a secret from others who also aspire to achieve
same,” he said.

“But this is someone who through hard work of
training with good facilities and with some
technical support, has been able to rise to
greatness.

“And he has made such facilities available for
Ghanaians so as to also help them get to that
level.”

The unveiled image was sculptured by Dr. Gerry
Waldron who agreed to Desailly’s request for
another of such his works to honour the memory of
his late mother, Elizabeth.
