My Take
Sammy Kuffour represents the kind of footballer I treasure most: the uncompromising defender who builds a dynasty from the back. Over a decade at Bayern Munich and fourteen honours is not a career, it's a legacy, and his physical, no-nonsense centre-back play was the spine of those sides. I find it striking that a boy from Kumasi climbed all the way to the summit of European football. Strikers grab the headlines, but I'll always argue that men like Kuffour, who win matches by refusing to lose them, deserve equal reverence. His story is genuinely inspiring.
