In July 2010, Asamoah Gyan had the chance to become one of football's immortals and missed it. The scars of that World Cup penalty have remained with him since, and will remain with him for years. Remarkably though, he has not allowed it to define him.

Yet, the quest for greatness has seen Gyan make some costly mistakes which he recounts in sobering details. He owns up to them, sharing how they affected his family and career, as well as the lessons learned.

What were the conversations in various dressing rooms across his chequered career? How did he handle the mysterious disappearance of his friend Castro and other scandals? What are his plans after football?
