Michael Essien - Biography

Michael Kojo Essien (born 3 December 1982) is a Ghanaian footballer who last played for Panathinaikos and the Ghana national team. He is a midfielder who has often been touted as a box-to-box midfielder for his ability to exert energy in supporting offensive and defensive play and for his tough tackling style which has earned him the nickname "The Bison". Essien can also play as a defender, both on the right of defence and in the centre.
Essien was raised in Awutu Breku, a small town in central Ghana, where his interest in football was sparked, in part, by a father who was a former local professional player. At age 12 the younger Essien relocated to Accra with his mother and siblings, and two years later he won a football scholarship to a secondary school in Cape Coast. After graduation Essien played with a Ghanaian club called Liberty Professionals before joining SC Bastia, in France’s top division, in 2000.

Essien returned to Ghana's squad in August 2013 for the team's final 2014 World Cup qualifiers. He appeared as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 defeat of Zambia as the Black Stars secured qualification to the final round. He started in both play-off matches against Egypt and was named in Ghana's squad for the tournament finals. He made one appearance, coming on as a second-half substitute in the opening 2–1 defeat to the United States.
