 He
is not a product of the FIFA-organised age-group
competitions as is the case of high-profile team-mates as
Stephen Appiah, Michael Essien,Sulley Muntari, Laryea
Kingston and Sulley Muntari.
An introvent by nature, Amoah commands a lot of respect
among his Stars teammates and team officials.
Then Vittesse coach, the former Holland and Barcelona star
Ronald Koeman loaned out the promising Ghanaian to Fortuna
Sittard in the 1999-2000 season for first team experience.
He scored 10 goals in 15 appearances as Sittard battled
relegation. In 22001 Koeman promptly went back for Amoah in
who emerged top scorer for Vitesse with 11 goals in 33
matches.
His scoring record for the national team pales in comparison
with his strike rate in Holland but at 27, Ghanaians are yet
to see the best of Amoah, who will be remembered as one of
the principal architechts that shaped Ghana's World Cup
dream. |

Amoah - Like his senior high school classmate
Michael Essien, Amoah is a sensational player but hardly
gets press coverage like Michael. But in stardom
this is can be good. He's a top goal scorer both in
Dutch league and the unbeatable Ghana black stars.
It
took just a few minutes in his first outing under new
Stars coach Ratomir Dujkovic to earn the deserved
recognition of the Serbian who has since handed the
Vitesse Arnhem striker a place in the Stars starting
line-up.
