His younger son, Rodney, is following in his father’s footsteps as a budding footballer.
Despite battling nagging injuries, which have stalled his progress, the former Great Olympics player is hopeful of reaching the heights of his dad, per Africa Top Sports.
Appiah has been a constant source of encouragement and guidance as Rodney works toward building his own career in the sport.
