In the mornings, John Quansah tends to his little trophy cabinet - a trinket from the past that bring back fond yet painful memories of the footballer he once was or could have been.
He then waves his son goodbye, takes a short walk to get a tricycle to work.
Known by his close friends as Abebe, he works as a laborer at the government hospital in Obuasi on a temporary basis.
As the 40-year-old pushes the wheelbarrow, he wonders where his next source of income will come from.
