The funeral of former Asante Kotoko defender Godfred Yeboah popularly known as 'TV3' is currently underway.

The funeral is being held at Fiapre, a suburb of Sunyani. TV3 passed away on August 3, 2021, after a short illness.

The former skipper of Kotoko died at age 41.

TV3 is famously remembered for his days with Kotoko, where he made a name as arguably the best left-back on the local scene during his prime.

He helped the Porcupine Warriors to win the Ghana Premier League on three occasions - 2003, 2005 and 2008.

On the continental level, he was again instrumental for the Kumasi-based side in their march to the 2004 Caf Confederation Cup final where they succumbed to country rivals Hearts of Oak in an all-Ghana final. 

The fullback's fine showing on the domestic scene did not go unnoticed as he was rewarded with a Ghana debut in an international friendly fixture against Benin in 2003, going on to make about four appearances in all for the Black Stars.
