Former Ghana international Sam Johnson has confessed using 'juju' to enhance his playing career.
Johnson, 44, capped 45 by Ghana, enjoyed an illustrious career at Belgian giants Anderlecht as well as Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahçe.
But the former Ghana international has made a startling revelation about he consulted witch doctors in a bid to improve his game and break the curse of injury.
"There is Juju in football and any footballer who says otherwise is a liar. I've practised it before," he told Happy Fm's Anopa Bosuo Sports,
"I used it to play football for a longer period but it got to a time I decided to stop because it wasn't helping like the way I anticipated but I think it did a lot for me also.
"I'm now a born again Christian and won't advise any body to venture into that because football at moment has changed a lot from our time, it has evolved."
Reports that superstitious stars are paying huge sums of cash to witch doctors in a bid to find another level in their careers is not new.
The players visit Juju men in West Africa, where they are shown how to conduct bizarre rituals that are also said to break the curse of injury.
Johnson represented six European clubs after leaving Hearts of Oak in 1995.

My friends, don't you know that satan is everywhere? There's juju in football, boxing in fact all sports, schools, marriages, in short it's everywhere. Just like satan's followers are under the sea, in trees, in the air, under the earth, so is juju everywhere. That's why the Bible tells us to WATCH & PRAY so that you're not trapped by satan
have you seen your end now? training and learning to enhance your GOD given talent,you were rather following juju and satanic powers.now nobody even think of you. gyimiii.
Germans used juju to win the world cup. Very laughable. Always Juju.Traning and planning properly for a game is the way and stop relying on the ***barred word*** lies in Juju. Ghanaians always like the shortcut and the false source. If juju plays football like India, Togo, Haiti etc. would have won the World cup 3x
I knew Sam when he was at Anderlecht and shocking hearing this JUJU stuff. I wonder how much did the juju man benefited from Sam and other former black stars and yet they never qualified for the world cup and never reached far in cup of nation. Practise makes perfect Sam - so technically you wasted your money and time going after this voodoo. I heard Abedi too was a number voodoo visitor and Tony Yeboah. Why born again now? Even juju men are cons.
The Good Book summarizes it as "To every perfection, there is a limit........".(Ps. 119:96). So, if with all that, you couldn't win the African footballer of the year award, the ballon dor, or any other significant individual title in football, then, you should know that there is a Supreme Being who ultimately calls the shots
Sam Johnson 44yrs?
Oh yes after using it to enjoy your football career you come to tell us not to use it. Ofcourse with the same dumb excuse..I am a born again Christian. The best excuse ever in Ghana. You Ghanaians are so predictable and silllyyyyyyy! Massa step aside and let us think wati!
Inspite of this, you did not win World Cup, neither did you win Africa Cup for a long time. You think Germans and Braziliians waste their time with this krap before winning World Cup? Does it not mean you were just wasting your time and effort foolllling around with idols and caricatures instead of focussing on improving your football skills? You are primitive and funny.
