Premier League boss Welbeck Abra-Appiah has urged current generation of footballers to emulate the exemplary life of Sammy Kuffour.
The ex Ghana defender will lead a host of world football legends in a testimonial game against the Black Stars to officially mark the end of his football career on Friday at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
And Abra-Appiah who was instrumental in unearthing Kuffour through youth ranks say he couldn’t have been more proud with the eventual success of the ex Bayern Munich stalwart.
“Kuffour is one person who never forgets his humble beginnings and the people who helped him achieve it,†he told Asempa FM.
“Anywhere he meets me or my wife; he lets everyone know what we have done for him during his unknown days.
“This quality of his encourages some of us to do more for the current generation of amateurs and I am very proud of what he has achieved in his life.â€
Kuffour’s won everything there is to in club football during his career which spanned over a decade.
He has also played in every Fifa organized competition but failed to win a major title with the senior side, the Black Stars – to which he has always confessed of his regret.
