So, who will be on show at Wembley as England host Ghana in friendly?
Posted Tuesday, March 29, 2011 by Dailymail

England host Ghana at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday evening, and there will be a number of familiar faces from the Barclays Premier League on show...

Steve Bruce On his Ghanaian trio

'I'm delighted we've got all three (Asamoah Gyan, Sulley Muntari and John Mensah) at Sunderland. They all add something different, they are different players with different personalities. Make no mistake, England will be in for a game. And I have seen the Ghana fans many times; it will be a fantastic atmosphere.'

On Sulley Muntari

'Sulley and John have got that leadership about them. I never thought I'd get Sulley because he went to Inter Milan for massive money (£12.7m).'

On Asamoah Gyan

'He's absolutely fantastic. He brightens up our training sessions, he's as bright as a button, he enjoys life, he's a good boy, but maybe not as good as he should be at times.'

Asamoah Gyan on Sulley Muntari

'He's a great guy, very quiet. He likes to be on his own. As a footballer, he is a fantastic player. Great left foot, wins so many tackles for the team. He doesn't hurt people, tough not rough.'

Asamoah Gyan on Asamoah Gyan

'In the dressing room, people like me. They think I am crazy. Outside the field I look crazy, make people laugh, but on the pitch I am very focused.'

Sulley Muntari on Asamoah Gyan

'The first time I saw him play was with Liberty, my ex-club in Ghana, and I fell in love with him. As a footballer, he's great, a wonderful player. He does things you can't describe that I love. As a person, he's a headache. Even then, he was like he is now - very hyper.'
