Ex-Hearts goalkeeper Sammy Adjei has blamed �short memory� local fans for the dwindling fortunes of some Ghanaian players. Adjei, who left Hearts under acrimonious circumstances, has seen his career take nosedive. The 33-year-old feels Ghanaian players have never been appreciated and allowed to �rot� due to few mistakes. �I am not happy with the way sometimes some of us (footballers) are treated. Just look at how my career with the Black Stars ended,� he is quoted by sportscrusaderonline.com �It was so sudden and no one was willing to give me another chance to stand up on my feet since I was having issues with my club.� �Anytime I hear the plight of John Pantsil, I �weep� because this is one player who has served Ghana very well in the past and needs to be among the greats when football is being mentioned in Ghana. �But just because he had problems at club level, he is being overlooked, as if he did not even exist, and that to me is very bad.� He added: �I can mention several players who have been forgotten by the technical team. I believe the way we treated the likes of Agogo, Prince Tagoe, Matthew Amoah, Derek Boateng and some other players have not been good. �We should not always forget about players when they get injured for sometime or are having issues with their respective clubs. The national team must help them back on their feet.�
