Remembering Christian Atsu: 'He had a nice word for everybody'
Tributes have poured in for the Ghanaian footballer Christian Atsu after it was confirmed he died during the earthquakes in Turkey.
He was found dead on Saturday under the rubble of his home in southern Turkey, where he had been playing for the Hatayspor football club.
The talented winger played 65 times for Ghana's national team, helping them reach the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations final where he was voted player of the tournament. The 31-year-old also played for Premier League sides Newcastle and Everton.
Ghanian sports broadcaster Michael Oti Adjei told Sportshour why he was a special person both on and off the pitch.
