Eugene Quaynor was born in Accra, Ghana and schooled at the Oyoko Methodist SHS where he led his team to win the ‘interco’ games.
He continued his education at the University of Ghana where he helped the school place third at the GUSA games.
Quaynor later gained a scholarship to further his studies in the United States at Oral Roberts University to study Sports Management and at the time he died, he was the captain of the Oral Roberts football team.
Quaynor’s last match for his team was on the day of his death in a 3-1 win over Lindenwood men’s team.
According to investigators, Quaynor was stopped at a red light when he was hit by a driver who was speeding and may have been drinking.
The crash forced Quaynor’s car to veer through the intersection and hit a wall before catching fire in the process.
The Police said people around tried to pull the footballer out of the car but all attempts failed and he died in the fire.
