A lot of Ghanaian football fans are baffled by the fact that Asamoah Gyan, a former Black Stars captain, wore jersey number 3 for the majority of his professional career.
It is rumored that Asamoah Gyan’s faith inspired him to do this action.
Gyan wore the #3 jersey for almost every team he played for, both the national team and club teams, and he always gave a justification for his choice.
According to the Christian theology of the Trinity, even though there is only one God, he presents himself as three different but equal persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
“It was given to me by my senior brother, Baffour Gyan. He was with the number 3 jersey when I was coming to the national team,” Gyan told Pulse Ghana.
“This question I asked him when I was a kid and he told me God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, which is three.
“And three number is very powerful, the number 3, for example, you want to lift something very heavy. You count three in your mind. One, two, three, so the three is very powerful, so you warn somebody for the first time, you warn the person for the second time, so the third one is very powerful.
“So, for me, number three is a powerful number that is why.”
