You can’t do away with supporters – Hearts legend Amankwah Mireku to Hearts of Oak Board

Former Hearts of Oak captain, Yaw Amankwah Mireku has asked Hearts of Oak SC board to beware of the importance of supporters within the club.

Hearts of Oak had a poor campaign last season as they finished 12th on the league log.

Supporters of the club have been clamouring for the change in leadership of the board and also other key changes.

Speaking in an interview with Kobby Stonne on Adom FM, the former center back revealed how supporters of the club played a major role when Hearts won the 2000 CAF Champions League and 2004 CAF Confederation Cup.

“On behalf of 64 battalion and virgin cup squad, I would like to thank all supporters. The truth is that the playing body did their best in 2000 and 2004 but the supporters were exceptional. All of our achievements were due to the contributions of the supporters”. He said.

He added that Hearts supporters have been neglected these days and it is not the best practice.

“Football without supporters wouldn’t be interesting. It was evident during the COVID period. If you take away the players, the next important body are the supporters. It seems they are being neglected and that is not the best practice.” He added.
