Fans celebrate Hearts of Oak's 110th birthday

Fans of the club took to social media to celebrate the club with many wishing the team well in the upcoming years.

"Happy Birthday Party popper to the BIGGEST club in Ghana. The current league, Fa Cup and Super cup champions of Ghana, Hearts of Oak. 11/11/1911. Wishing you a more trophy coming years my love," wrote staunch supporter of the club, Felix Romark.

"This badge constitutes greatness. Happy Birthday Hearts," wrote K for Koku on Twitter.

"Happy Birthday Phoobia. The Continental Club Masters," added Kaly Jay.

Speaking to journalist and club supporter, Dom Agbapke, he said the team looks under accomplished and needs to work on uplifting it's image.

"Hearts is 100 years but it still doesn't have what clubs that are below a 100 years in Europe have. I think they are trying to get some basic stuffs, for example, the Pobiman project but it's taking time. I still have faith, they will get there but they do not have time on their hands," he told YEN.com.gh.
