Former Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari has made a stunning revelation about his football career, claiming he put the sport above everything in his life.

The combative midfielder began his career in Ghana, where he rose through the youth set up of Liberty Professionals in the early 2000s before signing for Italian outfit Udinese.

After joining Udinese in 2001, where he predominantly featured for the reserves, the young Muntari had to wait for his opportunity to play for the first team.

On November 6, 2002, Muntari made his first-team debut against AC Milan and never looked back.
