Ex-Ghana captain Emmanuel Quarshie will leave for Egypt this weekend to undergo treatment of a throat cancer. His expenses will be borne by his former club Zamalek who want to his recovery. He will be accompanied by a former team mate Francis Edzie. Quarshie visited the club last week in Accra ahead of their CAF Champions League match against Berekum Chelsea. His trip was facilitated by Justice Boison, a former Hasaacas player, who informed Zamalek officials about Quarshie�s deteriorating health. �Both will have their travelling expenses borne by Zamalek, as well as their rented apartment in Cairo for the duration of the treatment,� Boison is quoted by the Graphic Sports. Quarshie was a prominent player for Zamalek during the team�s heyday in the 1980s. The former Sekondi Hasaacas player helped the Cairo giants to end a six-year Egyptian league drought and win their maiden Champions League title in 1984. He was renowned for his physical prowess and goal-scoring instinct. Quarshie captained Ghana to win their last Africa Cup of Nations trophy at the 1982 finals in Libya.
