“We are saddened by the news of the passing of our 1990 FA CUP winner, 1990 CAF Champions League semifinalist and ex Black Stars skilful winger, Robert Eshun. Our heartfelt condolences to his family,” Kotoko expressed on social media.

The speedy winger also had a stint in the Turkish Super Lig with Gaziantep before later featuring for Sarawak in Malaysia.
