Junior Agogo Now Struggles To Speak Due To A Recent Stroke He Suffered

Former Black Stars striker, Junior Agogo, is struggling to speak after suffering a devastating stroke two years ago.

Agogo, 38-year-old, is said to have suffered the stroke in January 2015, after retiring from football.

Junior Agogo is now being taken care of by his mother.

Speaking for the first time after the stroke, Agogo in a BBC documentary published on Sunday said the stroke has left him lacking confidence, and he feels socially isolated.

Agogo played for Bristol Rovers between 2003 to 2006 before moving to Nottingham Forest.

Junior Agogo (real name Manuel Agogo) is a Ghanaian striker who made 140 appearances for the Rovers.

He joined from then Conference side Barnet for a fee of £110,000 with Giuliano Grazioli moving to Underhill as part of the deal.

Agogo was a member of the Black Star squad that participated in 2008 African Cup of Nations which was hosted by Ghana.
