Ex-Ghana captain Stephen Appiah has been named as one the legends of Italian Serie A giants Juventus, according to tuttojuve.com.
Appiah was signed by the Bianconeri in the summer of 2003 after a successful loan spell at Brescia from Parma.

Appiah had an impressive first season after playing in 30 Serie A matches.
He also made his debut in the UEFA Champions League before going on to make 18 Serie A appearances.
The 31-year-old’s decision to play for Ghana at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens cost him his place in Fabio Capello’s side.
