 Steven
Appiah was on trial with London based football team
Tottenham Hotspur FC in January 2009 with a view to a
6-month permanent contract, however concerns over his knee
and fitness resulted in no contract being offered, as Spurs
took up the option of signing Wilson Palacios from Wigan
Athletic instead.
Despite being without a club
since his departure from Fenerbahçe in June 2008, Steven
Appiah remained a regular with the Ghana Black Stars.
Stephen Appiah has designed a clothing line, called StepApp,
which was released in late November, in his hometown of
Accra, with all proceeds going to the StepApp foundation. |
Stephen
Appiah is the heart of Ghana's Black Stars team both on
and off the field. He earned the nickname Tornado due to
the fact that he is very dominant in midfield and is
also very strong.
In
July 2005, Appiah was transferred from Juventus to
Fenerbahçe, the defending Turkish champions, for 8
million. He won the Turkish Super League Championship
with Fenerbahçe in their centenary year.
