March 1961 - The Match of The Century - Rival Goalkeeper:Sir Tsibu Darku - When Ministers played it was the match of the century. When Ministers and top civil servants put down their pens, pushed away their cups of tea and put on their football boots, the stage was set for a great match. It soon became a duel between two giant goalkeepers. At one end, Sir Tsibu Darku, and at the other 20-stone, Mr. T. Menson. When the Ministers and Ministerial Secretaris met a team of senior officials of the Cocoa Marketing Board at Accra Stadium. Of course the players brought off more laughs than dazzling movements - and the people loved them for it. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
