Former Ghana captain Stephen Appiah has revealed his intention to write a memoir that will provide readers with an intimate account of his life, shedding light on the lesser-known aspects of his humble beginnings in the slums of Chorkor and his remarkable journey to the pinnacle of football.
“People saw me playing for Accra Hearts of Oak, U-17, U-20 and move to Europe. So they know about my career but there are some deep details that people don’t know,” Appiah told Joy Sports.
He added, “I have to keep it to myself because definitely one day I will write my book and I will put them in. It should be a surprise but I have certain deep details.”
“When I mention that I come from Chorkor, you have to know that I have really come a long way,” Appiah said.

Appiah’s memoir is expected to provide a captivating narrative that reveals the untold stories behind his rise to prominence, having led Ghana to its first-ever World Cup in 2006 and his successful tenure with clubs such as Juventus.
Appiah has remained active in football since retiring from professional football, working as a scout and as a team manager for the Black Stars. The 42-year-old scored 14 goals in 67 appearances for Black Stars between 1995 and 2010.
