Germany World Cup winner Matthaus urges kids to follow steps of Ghanaian 'legend' Kuffour

Germany Fifa World Cup winner Lothar Matthaus has named former Bayern Munich defender Samuel Osei Kuffour as a good role model for Ghanaian kids in pursuing their football dreams.

Kuffour ranks among a handful of Ghanaians to have played at the highest level of European football, having won the Champions League (2000-01) and six Bundesliga titles with Bayern.

The 43-year-old, who was also once on the books of Italian side AS Roma, remains among just a few players to have represented Ghana at the World Cup at all international level.
