Andre Ayew and Kudus Mourn the Passing of Black Stars Fitness Trainer, Ricky Roy

Ghanaian footballers Andre Ayew and Mohammed Kudus have paid tribute to Black Stars fitness trainer Romeo Ricky Roy, who passed away on April 28, 2024.

The cause of his death has not been confirmed, but it is known that he had been feeling unwell before his passing. Ayew and Kudus expressed their condolences to Roy’s family and loved ones on their Instagram stories.

Ayew wrote, “RIP Romeo. All my condolences to his family and friends. Will never forget all the moments together. You’ll be missed brother.”

Kudus also paid his respects, saying, “Rest easy my guy. May the light guide your way. Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.”

Roy gained prominence four years ago when he saved the life of a player during a Division One League game between Vision FC and Agbozume. He was then working for Vision FC and helped to resuscitate left-back Benjamin Aloma after he collapsed on the pitch.

This heroic act led to Roy being appointed as a member of the Black Stars’ backroom staff in late 2020, following Milovan Rajevac’s return. He went on to work with Otto Addo and Chris Hughton, serving as a member of the coaching staff at the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup and the recent 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in the Ivory Coast.
