Agogo: where was my voice?

Agogo suffered a stroke in 2015 which led to further complications. he was diagnosed with Aphasia which affects his ability to talk.

“I am anxious about the language. I can find the words, but I am anxious because I am afraid if I get a word wrong,” Agogo said.

Agogo played for Zamalek between 2008 and 2009. He only featured on 11 occasions, scoring three goals for the team.
