Ex-Ghana captain Stephen Appiah has recounted the scariest moment in his career. According to the former Juventus midfielder,he suffered a cardiac arrest that nearly ended his career some decade ago.
The charismatic player who is now the technical coordinator of the national team says it is a period in his career he wants to forget.
“I had a knee operation in Turkey and left for Dubai for the rehab. Later in August I felt some pains in my system. By August –September, I couldn’t breathe properly and was panting even when lacing my boots,” he said on the Legends Show on GHOne.
“It became unbearable on October 18, 2007 when I was in camp ahead of a clash with Inter Milan and I complained to the club for more attention. It was scary.” He added.
