Appiah reflects on how he convinced Avram Grant for a place in Ghana's Afcon 2015 squad

AFC Wimbledon striker Kwesi Appiah has taken a trip down memory lane to his sensational inclusion in Ghana's squad for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Equatorial Guinea.

Playing in the English fourth tier with Wimbledon on loan from Premier League outfit Crystal Palace at the time, the English-born player was undoubtedly the biggest surprise as the former Black Stars coach Avram Grant named his final squad for the continental showpiece.

Appiah had never played for the West Africans until the call-up that would generate heavy media controversy in Ghana.
