Appiah looses Dad.

Midfielder Michael Essien and some ex and current players  joined former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah to thank God at the Martyrs of Uganda church at Mamprobi, an Accra suburb.
The service, a thanksgiving one for Appiah’s departed father Bartholomew Nii Sackey Appiah, who passed on a few months ago, aptly describes the scripture which says, ”How beautiful it is for brothers to get along,”
Essien, who is in the country for the Christmas holidays, earlier had mourned with Appiah from the wake keeping, burial to the thanksgiving service which drew a large following.
The two have been the best of friends on and off the pitch,unity, a legacy of Appiah which is believed to have aided the Black star's world cup qualification on two occasions.
Sackey Appiah was buried last Saturday at the Osu Cemetery. He was 70.
