His patriotism, affability and generosity has been combined to earn him a special place in the hearts of Ghanaians. Appiah has been off the playing field for a while now, but he is preparing to officially end it all on Saturday.
At club level, he has played for some prestigious teams - Udinese, Juventus, Fenerbache among others. Back home, he featured for Accra Hearts of Oak - one of the most successful clubs in Ghana.
Many football stars will fly to Accra to grace the occasion. The testimonial match between a Stephen Appiah XI and the Black Stars will certainly be a massive sell-out.
The likes of Samuel Eto’o, Sulley Muntari, Michael Essien, Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor, Didier Drogba, Yaya Toure, Roberto Baggio and Pavel Neved are among those scheduled to feature for the Appiah XI.
Many have been wondering what is next for the football legend after he bids his active playing career goodbye this weekend.
Well, Appiah himself has said many times that he wants to go into coaching, starting with juvenile teams.
Certainly, his fans can’t wait to see him on the touchlines as he begins a new chapter in his footballing life.
Soccerdoze wishes him all the best.
