Asamoah Gyan is used to all the attention and adulation but on Sunday he was receiving a different kind as he celebrated his 35th birthday.
The former Ghana captain has lived under the spotlight since he broke on the international scene in 2003 with the Black Stars and that football theme was present in the birthday wishes that flowed his way
