\n<\/p>\nIn addition to his incredible dedication and leadership skills on the field of play, former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah has sensationally stated the good actions he used to accomplish for the Black Stars off the field. <\/p>\n
Appiah revealed in an interview with Sompa Sports that he periodically had to pay for the players\u2019 plane tickets because they thought the Black Stars were boring. <\/p>\n
The ex-Juventus athlete acknowledged that he had once awarded winning bonuses to teammates following games. He claimed that he had been hesitant to help the Black Stars regain their competitive standing but felt compelled to do so now.<\/p>\n
– –<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cOne thing that is painful is that some of us are very humble. But when you know your value, you don\u2019t want to do certain things or mingle with certain people. We all want to help because we have helped before even if it wasn\u2019t enough,\u201d he said during the sports programme on the aforementioned radio station.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a time everybody(players) had no interest in playing for Black Stars. There was a time I had to pay for players\u2019 plane tickets to Ghana and there was a time I paid winning bonuses,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The 42-year-old, who is not impressed with how the team is run currently, implied that he regrets spending his money on the team, but hopes things will get better.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo today if I see how things are been done, I ask myself why did I waste my money? But we hope that one day it will be well,\u201d he said sadly.<\/p>\n
