His
fierce drives, quick dashes and dazzling flickers typify
Liberia’s Bob Zeo who has become an admired figure in Ghana
football followed the 2005 Ghana League Clubs Association
Annual Top Four Tourney – Coca Cola Top 4.
Zeo who never ceased to shin after an explosive start
against Asante Kotoko, grabbed a crucial equalizer against
King Faisal in the last match at the Kumasi Stadium and
virtually double few minutes later with a dipping lob, which
a teammate easily tapped in.

Stadium |
That goal ensured Kpando Hearts of Lions were two points
cleared of Accra Hearts of Oak who were held by Real Tamale
United in an instantaneous fixture at the Accra Sport
Stadium.
Accra Hearts of Oak and Kpando Hearts of Lions were drawn
from Group One, while Kumasi-based Asante Kotoko and Alhaji
Grusah’s King Faisal were drawn from Group Two at the end of
the 2004 Ghana Premier League.
Kotoko, the then reigning champions, staged a walkout in
their first match at the Accra Sport Stadium after a
debatable penalty decision against them two minutes from
fulltime with the score at 1-1 against Zeo’s Hearts of
Lions.
Real Tamale United were imported to complete the quartet
tourney meant to prepare Ghana top four clubs drawn in all
the African competitions.
Except Kpando Hearts of Lions that failed to meet CAF
registration deadlines citing several reasons, the rest of
the other three teams have already begun their African
missions.
Zeo who is poised to snatch the Top Four Best Player crown,
slammed in three reverberating goals to ensure Kpando Hearts
of Lions lift its first ever laurel since its formation
three years ago.
Most times, Bob Zeo brandishing a modish dreadlock was
mistakenly identified as a citizen of Suriname, a
misrepresentation he easily dismissed in several television
and radio interviews.
“I’m from Liberia, and don’t know that country they’re
talking about, and this is making my people angry at the
refugee camp”.
Asante Kotoko, Bob Zeo told Liberiansoccer, has asked for
his signature, but couldn’t meet his demands, but tense
negations are said to be ongoing between his club and the
Ghanaian richest club.

Zeo on one of his expeditions in the Top Four
Tourney |
Zeo, 19, departed Liberia nearly two years ago, and landed
into the folds of Sekondi Eleven Wise, a first division
outfit and has since been demonstrating his worth.
It’s not common to standup tall as a foreign player amongst
the rampaging talents dressed in the Ghanaian league, but
even the highly fastidious Ghanaian media had kind words for
the Liberian youngster:
Graphic Sports reported:
Zeo is the real stunner and
the sensational Rasta-haired striker will be voted the best
player of this year’s Coca Cola Top four competition.
According to feelers at the Ghana League Clubs Association,
organizers of the tournament, Zeo has impressed the
technical committee charged with voting for the best player
more than everyone in the competition.
Zeo who until his egress from Liberia, fielded for
Invincible Eleven (IE) and the Lone Star, has expressed his
intentions to represent his country against Senegal before
he moves to Germany, where is expected to undergo trial very
shortly. |
