Sammy Kuffour's football legacy

Kuffour’s rise began at just 15 when he moved to Europe after a stint with King Faisal, signing for Torino F.C. in 1991.

Two years later, he joined Bayern Munich. Following a loan spell at FC Nürnberg in Germany’s second tier, he returned and eventually earned a permanent spot in the Bavarian giants’ senior squad.
