Manuel "Junior" Agogo is definately the most love black stars player bCheck the body of Agogo. No wonder the women love himy Ghanaian ladies.  He was even offered a wife by a Grandfather, but we wait to see what happens.

 Agogo has spent most of his career in England, and also spent a spell in Major League Soccer and Egyptian soocer league.

Agogo began his career at Sheffield Wednesday in 1995 before being loaned in the 1999–00 season to Oldham Athletic, Chester City, Chesterfield, and Lincoln City.

On 30 August 2006 the transfer to Forest was completed for an undisclosed fee, with Agogo signing a three-year contract. On 3 September 2006 he made made his league debut for Forest as a sub in a home 4–0 win against Chesterfield. He scored seven league goals over the season.


Junior Agogo in 2007/2008 finished as Forest's top-scorer that season with thirteen goals, helping the club gain automatic promotion to the Championship. Agogo was sold during the summer for a fee of £565,000 to El Zamalek.

A move he'll later live to regret. Manuel has been having disputes with the Zamelek club officials regularly till it hit what seemed to be a dead end.


On 14 November 2006, Agogo scored his first goal for Ghana, the equaliser in a friendly against Australia; the game finished 1–1. He also scored the third goal in Ghana's 4–1 victory over Nigeria, played at Brentford's Griffin Park.
