[This is the link to the contest for anyone who wants to participate](https://steemit.com/hive-121930/@steem.sports/special-contest-tell-us-about-your-favorite-african-player-or-club) Growing up as a kid, I have always had an unflinching love for Stephen Appiah. I always wanted to wear Jerseys with the name "Stephen Appiah" on it. It even got to a time when my friends used to call me Appiah. So Stephen Appiah has always been my favourite player as far as i can remember. Up till date, I still harbour such love for him and I would like to announce that he is my favourite African Player. ![0001-8656091674_20210925_220235_0000.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUFbSsXC6WpuSBCN4LDp1E3J9ebqXQe4n2C9ozEUYZnvj/0001-8656091674_20210925_220235_0000.png) # ABOUT STEPHEN APPIAH Stephen Leroy Appiah was born in Accra in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana on 24th December,1980 to Mr. Bartholomew Nii Sackey Appiah and Madam Comfort Afua Awootey.

He played so so well at the Youth and Olympic levels even before he began to play for the National Team. Appiah became very famous all around the world after he captained the Ghana National Team in the 2006 and 2010 World Cup. With the support of him and his team, Ghana was able to reach the Quarter Finals in the 2010 World Cup which took place in South Africa. Below are some of the teams he played for aside the Ghana National Team, the year(s) in which he played and the number of goals he scored: Year | Team | Number of Goals --------- | ---------- | ---------- 1995 - 1997 | Hearts of Oak | 19 1997- 2000 | Udinese | 0 2000 - 2003 | Parma | 0 2003 - 2005 | Juventus | 3 2005 - 2008 | Fenehbarçe | 11 2009 - 2010 | Bologna | 0 2010 - 2011 | Cesena | 0 2012 | Vojvodina | 1 ![stephen-appiah_19x98wkfm0ti31hbo9jve08zuq.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbYoacJYNKZ3oRekTwW8Q76tAXppnHZU3CTwf5QqMpEbv/stephen-appiah_19x98wkfm0ti31hbo9jve08zuq.jpg) [Source](https://www.google.com/search?q=stephen+appiah+at+juventus&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjj9uD8k5vzAhW9EmMBHaG3CE8Q2-cCegQIABAB&oq=stephen+appiah+at+juventus&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzIECAAQGDoHCCMQ7wMQJzoFCAAQzQI6BQgAEIAEOgYIABAIEB5Qk4kLWNCmC2C8rQtoAHAAeACAAfADiAG9KJIBBTMtNy42mAEAoAEBwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=SqBPYeOpHL2ljLsPoe-i-AQ&bih=678&biw=412&client=ms-android-samsung-rev2&prmd=invx&hl=en#imgrc=1XNRlS_lUOb65M) STEPHEN APPIAH AT JUVENTUS ![Tornado.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQAN3Fmasw678dghGrqRYHJn8JLRMDijHRkHcS6NGSTLe/Tornado.jpg) [Source](https://www.google.com/search?q=stephen+appiah+in+ghana+national+team&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwi7uvfYlJvzAhUJeBQKHcOxB_QQ2-cCegQIABAB&oq=stephen+appiah+in+ghana+national+team&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzIECB4QCjoHCCMQ7wMQJzoFCAAQzQI6BQgAEIAEOgQIABAYOgQIIRAKUK7sCliSxQtg5MgLaABwAHgBgAGiB4gBiGCSAQozLTE0LjQuNS4zmAEAoAEBwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=C6FPYfuIL4nwUcPjnqAP&bih=678&biw=412&client=ms-android-samsung-rev2&prmd=invx&hl=en#imgrc=1Og1nblkzhCXAM&imgdii=0gEAWd1rgiqMGM) APPIAH AT GHANA NATIONAL TEAM # LIFE AND WEALTH Just like most other professional footballers, Stephen Appiah has amassed so much wealth. I usually would say that one of the things Appiah and I have in common is his love for cars. Appiah is a car lover who drives some of the luxurious cars you can think of. He also lives in a very huge mansion in Accra. Traveling around the world is also another thing Appiah loves to do. Below are pictures of Appiah and some of the things he possesses: ![appiah19.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdBpAqsSVLov8HE44ESqNoRGn5GkGahtRCGCjK8jkeQJ2/appiah19.jpg) [Source](https://www.google.com/search?q=appiah+at+his+mansion&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwi7uvfYlJvzAhUJeBQKHcOxB_QQ2-cCegQIABAB&oq=appiah+at+his+mansion&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzIECB4QCjoHCCMQ7wMQJzoFCAAQzQI6CggjEO8DEOoCECc6CAgAEIAEELEDOgQIABBDOgcIABCxAxBDOgsIABCABBCxAxCDAToFCAAQgAQ6BggAEAgQHjoECAAQHjoECAAQGFDK5wNYuq4EYJexBGgGcAB4BYAB_QaIAZZQkgEJMy02LjcuNi4ymAEAoAEBsAEFwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=C6FPYfuIL4nwUcPjnqAP&bih=678&biw=412&client=ms-android-samsung-rev2&prmd=invx&hl=en#imgrc=_eS2vNJzw39bVM) APPIAH AT HIS MANSION ![56330771.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfYCorPCby8q2DVCQzwpoDRr2HTLZbNdQcq2UdVwUCvNY/56330771.jpg) [Source](https://www.google.com/search?q=stephen%20appiah%20cars&tbm=isch&hl=en&client=ms-android-samsung-rev2&prmd=invx&sa=X&ved=0CBQQtI8BKABqFwoTCLCH0cWYm_MCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAJ&biw=412&bih=678#imgrc=s6FJGM6BlOKh2M) APPIAH WITH SOME OF HIS FLEET That is all I would like to share about Stephen Appiah.
