The Brave Boy Referee (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781913285142)

A few minutes before the kick-off of the much-anticipated District Independence Football Cup final between the local team from Kookookrom a village in Ghana and the visitors from Makokrom, a comparatively bigger town. There was still no sign of the referee and his assistants arriving from the regional capital.

Finally, the clock stuck 4pm; kick off time! Still no sign of the match officials.

After exchanging a few words with the match commissioner and managers of the two teams, word soon began to spread around to the effect the match would go ahead - with Kofi Mensah as the referee!
