Man's encounter with Ghanaian referee Daniel Laryea
According to Issah, he encountered Daniel when he visited KSI and stayed with his relative at a suburb known as Adukrom.
He recounted meeting Daniel at a game centre in Adukrom, in Saint Paul's premises, when PlayStation 2 was trending.
Issah noted that there were times when Daniel wouldn't be able to play any games or face anyone because of how good he was. In his words:
"I have known Daniel Laryea in 2008 when he came to KSI for a stay at his relatives' place in a suburb called Adukrom.
"My engagement with him happened when I met him at a Game Center in Adukrom, Saint Paul's premises. During those days, PlayStation 2 was the latest tv game.
"At times, Daniel will come to this Game Center and may not get the opportunity to hold a game pad to face anyone because of how good he is in defeating boys by what we called “lose and pay”.
"Game centers only connect boys to one another only when they meet at the Game Centers and once they leave from the premises, that is all.
"A memory I could reflect on for knowing Danny."

Ghanaian comments on referee Daniel's match officiating
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Ghanaian man had shared his thoughts on the referee's decisions in Nigeria's AFCON semi-final defeat to Morocco.
He began by strongly criticising the performance of the match referee, fellow Ghanaian Daniel Nii Laryea, for what he perceived as biased decisions in favour of the host nation, Morocco. He pointed to a harsh yellow card against Nigerian defender Calvin Bassey and noted that Moroccan players consistently escaped bookings for similar or worse offences.
However, in a twist that drew reactions, the Ghanaian man suggested that he does not believe the referee was to be blamed for Nigeria's total defeat. He shifted his criticism to the Super Eagles' performance during the decisive penalty shootout.
