Other Information: Emmanuel Osei Banahene won the 3rd edition of the Mylik Classic U-19 Tournament with his team International Allies which was played between 27-29 November 2005 at Carl Reindorf Stadium, Dansoman in Accra. He was the second top soccer of the tournament with 4 goals in 6 matches. He is an extremely good developing youngster, who takes advantage of his speed, strength and pace to unlock the defence of the opposite team. Emmanuel, knicknamed "Nboma" is very good in dribblings and has an excellent shot with his left foot. His moves are unpredictable and very difficult for defenders to follow. He is very good in the air and has no fear trying to score/volley direct. He is very diciplined and follows the coach?s tactical instructions and schemes.
