He attended Kotobabi Elementary School.

Mohammed Polo started playing football for local youth teams like Mau Mau, Nima Seekers and Bukom Islamic Stars before moving to Auroras FC which was the Team B of Hearts of Oak in 1972 as little as 15 years old.

In January 1972, the birth of a football legend, Mohammed Ahmed Polo was confirmed by the football fans at Bukom Square in Accra.

Bukom Islamic Stars organized a friendly match at Bukom Square in Accra.

Bukom Islamic Stars having their image dented and eclipsed by their opponent in the first half of the match after conceding an early goal decided to bring on the little, young, shy and talented 15 – year old footballer, Mohammed Ahmed Polo who was unknown to the Bukom fans in the second half of the match.

Polo had been carried from Nima at his club Nima Seekers to play for Bukom Islamic Stars.

As soon as he entered the pitch, he received his first pass from his half and dribbled past every opponent cleverly all the way to goal to equalize for Bukom lslamic Stars.

The spectators had never seen an outstanding young footballer on that Bukom grounds before.

Polo was carried shoulder high by the fans immediately after scoring the goal.

Bukom lslamic Stars won the match by 3 -1.

After the match, Polo was followed by the fans like a MESSIAH as they gazed his left foot to see if it will reveal some secrets.

Polo’s name spread wide in Accra after the match.

This was the birth of the football legend, Mohammed Ahmed Polo and he was just 15 years old.

Few weeks after the match, Polo was seen playing for Auroras FC which is the second team of Hearts of Oak.

Before the start of the 1972 Season, Hearts did a “Justify Your Inclusion” exercise for new players for Auroras FC.

Polo also attended to test if he could be given the chance to play for Auroras FC in a company of the Managers of Nima Seekers, Skylee and Yushau who were also fans of Hearts of Oak.

Mohammed Polo was picked for Auroras FC due to his magical touches of the ball on that day.
The fans saw a gem for Hearts of Oak in 1972 and bonded with him quickly.

He started playing in the Reserve League Matches in the 1972 Season which was played before the senior team Hearts of Oak played in any Ghana League match.

Polo was so good that he could play 90 minutes of the Reserve League matches and play for the Team A, Hearts of Oak as well.
Due to that he did not play many matches for Auroras FC in 1972 and was quickly promoted to Team A, Hearts of Oak in the same year 1972.

Every young budding talent in the 1970’s took the inspiration from Mohammed Polo.

CLUB CAREER

Mohammed Polo was promoted to Hearts of Oak at the age of 15 years in 1972 after his short great exploits in the Auroras FC.

He won 21 Trophies for Hearts of Oak from 1972 – 1992 which is a RECORD as a player in the history of Hearts of Oak and Ghana football as a whole.

Mohammed Polo performed 2 football magics for Hearts of Oak in the CAF African Cup of Champion Clubs ( CAF Champions League) in 1977 and 1979.

The 1st magical match was Hearts of Oak vrs Mufulira Wanderers of Zambia in 1977.

This was a 2nd Leg Semi-Final game at the El-Wak Sports Stadium which Hearts needed at least 3-0 scoreline to qualify to their 1st Final after Hearts had lost by 5-2 in the 1st Leg in Zambia without Mohammed Polo due to injury.

In all the 3 goals, Mohammed Polo had to go deep into his own defence area to pick up the balls and dribbled through the Mufulira Wanderers players to assist Anas Seidu and Peter Lamptey to score the 3 goals .

Before the 3 goals were scored, the Zambian National Commentator had already reported on the Radio to the Zambian fans that Mufulira Wanderers had qualified to the FINAL since there was no way Hearts could score 3 unanswered goals.

The Zambian Commentator was amazed with the performance of Mohammed Ahmed Polo at the last 15 minutes of the game and kept asking ” Is Mohammed Polo a Human Being” judging from the Mufulira Wanderers players inability to handle the dribbling magic of Mohammed Polo which led to the 3 goals scored on the day.

The Zambian Commentator was so broken- hearted and burst into tears on the Radio when the last goal was scored on the 89th minute of the game due to another magic from Mohammed Polo.

This became the miracle popularly dubbed as “The Miracle of El-Wak”
Polo was carried shoulder-high by the Hearts of Oak fans amid wild jubilation into the night.

The 2nd magical match was Hearts of Oak vrs Mighty Black Pool of Sierra Leone in 1979.

This match was the 2nd Leg in the 1979 African Cup of Champion Clubs at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Hearts of Oak had lost the 1st Leg in Sierra Leone by 2-0 so they needed at least 2-0 to push the game to Penalties or 3-0 to progress to the next stage.

Due to injury, Polo was on the bench.
The 1st half was goaless.

Wonders happened when Polo entered the pitch in the 2nd half.

Polo orchestrated 2 important goals to push the game to Penalties and Hearts won by 4-2 on Penalties to qualify to the Second Round of the competition.

In 1978, after the AFCON, he moved for a 3 – Month spell at Al Wasl but came back to Hearts of Oak to play the 1978 Ghana League Season before going back again to Al Wasl in 1979 to play the UAE 1979/1980 League.

Mohammed Polo played with 4 generations of Hearts of Oak .

He first played with the
“3 Musketeers” which comprised Abeka Ankrah, Joe Ghartey and Robert Foley from 1972 – 1974.

Mohammed Polo along with Mama Acquah , Anas Seidu , Robert Hammond and Peter Lamptey , they formed the squad dubbed ” Fearsome Five” who formed the backbone of Hearts of Oak to terrorize Ghanaian and African teams from 1975 – 1979 in the Ghana League and CAF African Cup of Champion Clubs ( CAF Champions league) respectively.

He later played with Opoku Afriyie’s Generation from 1985 – 1986.

He also played with the ” Musical Youth” from 1989 – 1992.

Mohammed Polo played for Al Wasl from 1979 – 1984 where he helped the club to win their first League title in 1981/1982 and annexed the 1982/1983 League title as well.

He won the Best Player of the Season 3 times in the U.A.E League in 1979/1980, 1981/1982 and 1982/1983.

He bonded with the Al Wasl fans to the extent that he was carried shoulder high by the Al Wasl fans when he scored a ” Dribbling – To – Goal – Magic ” that won the club their 1st League title even though that act was against the Arabic principle.

In 2006, Mohammed Polo’s ” Dribbling – To – Goal – Magic ” was chosen as the All Time Best Goal in the U.A.E Pro – League.

Mohammed Polo is regarded as one of the Best Foreign Players to ever play in the U.A.E Pro – League since the inception of their League in 1971.

He later played for Qatar FC in 1984 where he won Sheikh Jassim Cup with them.

He also played for Shell Gabon FC from 1986- 1989 and Great Olympics in 1993 where he retired from playing football at the age of 37 years.

INTERNATIONAL CAREER

Mohammed Polo was invited into the Ghana National Team, Black Stars at the age of 16 years 268 days in a World Cup Qualify Match between Ghana and Zaire ( DR Congo) which Ghana won
1 – 0 at the Accra Sports Stadium on 5th August , 1973.
He played for 14 years in the Black Stars before retiring in 1987.

Many people believe that, if Mohammed Polo had gotten the chance to play in the World Olympic Games in 1976 and 1980, the World would have seen a different GEM from Africa in the World football and that would have also propelled him to be attracted by the European Clubs even though the connection between the African players and European Clubs wasn’t too much at that time as compared to today.

Again, he won the 1978 AFCON for Ghana and also 4 West African Nations Cup in 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1986.

The friendly match was played in Benin .

The Republican Professionals defeated Benin Professionals by 5-2 in Benin.

Abedi Ayew Pele was later scouted by some French Officials in the 1984 Benin League Season due to his wonderful performance and that gave Abedi Ayew Pele the chance to play in the French League from 1986 to 1994 due to the great COACHING and INSPIRATION from Mohammed Ahmed Polo.

When Abedi Ayew Pele came down to Ghana to spend some holidays in Accra after the 1986/1987 French League , he came to meet his Mentor, Mohammed Polo who also came from Shell Gabon FC to also spend some holidays in Accra.
