Former captain of the Ghanaian national team, Black Stars, Asamoah Gyan has threatened to take a blogger to court for publishing fake stories about his infamous penalty miss. 

The Instagram blogger, called @thosecalledcelebs, posted a screenshot of a Twitter account that bares the same name as the footballer stating that he missed his infamous penalty because of his ex.

“I intentionally missed the penalty because of my ex…I wanted to break her heart” the fake Asamoah Gyan on Twitter tweeted.

Asamoah Gyan has since seen the post and is not happy about its content and has threatened to involve his lawyers if it is not taken down.

‘Those called Celeb! pull this useless story linked to me down and retract with an apology with immediate effect , if you fail to do that within the next 3hrs , you will hear from my lawyers . This abuse in social media must stop 🛑My account is verified on Twitter… your work as a journalist involves due diligence,” Asamoah Gyan captioned a screenshot of the post on his instagram.

In 2010, Gyan missed a penalty kick in the quarter-final of the 2010 FIFA World Cup against Uruguay.

10 years later since the incident, Gyan wishes he could turn back the hands of time and redeem himself.

“Till today, any time alone, it still haunts me. Sometimes I feel like the world should go back again so I can redeem myself, but I know this is something that will haunt me for the rest of my life. I accept that because there is nothing I can do about it. I went there to save my country, but I ended up being the villain, which I accept because I know how people feel,”the 34-year old told TV3 Ghana in an interview in April, 2010.
