It was a rare moment of emotion for Ghanaian-born American football defensive end, Ezekiel Nana "Ziggy" Ansah yesterday when he broke down in tears after a tribute to his mother at the launch of his foundation on March 7 in Accra.
Ansah, more famous for his crunchy tackles on running backs and quarter-backs in the American National Football League (NFL) showed a much softer side when he addressed a gathering of family, friends, sports administrators as well as students from his alma mater (Presbyterian Boys' Senior High School) during a eulogy to his mother, Elizabeth Ansah in Accra.
