However, the former Black Stars striker has said that Bofaokwa Tano’s Dan Owusu holds the record for the most Ghana Premier League goals scored in a season and not him.

Ishmael Addo stated that Dan Owusu scored 28 goals in the 1976 Ghana Premier league season so his 22 goals can not make him a record older.

“[Charles Taylor] actually told me there is this Kotoko striker who scored 21 goals and that he is about to break my record. When he told me that, I asked myself, ‘so, how are Ghanaians taking this?”, Addo said.

“Personally, I wasn’t bothered because they were saying the guy is about to break my record. And I was saying I never even broke any record in Ghana. I only equalled Dan Owusu’s record by winning the goal king three times.

“So, if you guys are saying this guy is about to break my record, I don’t get it. I don’t even see myself sitting somewhere and having an interview and saying I broke Dan Owusu’s record. No! Nowhere have I ever said that. I only equalled it," he said in an interview with Joy News.

Ishmael Addo won five Ghana Premier League titles while playing for giants Accra Hearts of Oak.
