Kuffour lists Germany legend Matthaus among Ghanaian and international inspirations

Former Bayern Munich ace Samuel Osei Kuffour has opened up on his mentors as a young footballer, saying it was a privilege to ultimately play alongside 1990 World Cup winner Lothar Matthaus.

The ex-Ghana international remains one of the most celebrated African footballers, having won the Uefa Champions League with the German giants in 2001, lifting the German Bundesliga title on six occasions and claiming the German FA Cup four times.

He played for Bayern Munich between 1993 to 2005, making 277 official appearances and teamed up with Germany star Matthaus.
