Son of Ghana legend Stephen Appiah, Larry, wants to follow footsteps of famous father, eyes U17

Son of former Ghana captain Stephen Appiah, Larry Appiah, wants to follow in the footsteps of his famous father.

The 15-year-old, who plays for the Juventus youth team, wants to kick start his international career with a shot at the Under-17 level.

The youngster has revealed he takes a lot of inspiration from his dad, who retired from active football after an illustrious 20-year span.

“If I am called to play for the national team at any level, I will whole-heartedly respond and come and play anytime” Larry is quoted footballmadeinghana.

“My father has been my inspiration and not to only me but Ghanaians as a whole. I aspire to be like him but I’m yet to take football to a new level like he did” Larry told

“He’s been the best dad, both on and off the field. I can’t say I can be exactly like him but I hope I can acquire great success like he did”.

Larry has been likened to ex-France star Patrick Viera and hugely tipped for greatness.
