Career
Born in Accra, Amoah played for Okwawu United, FC Winterthur, FC Frauenfeld, FC Wil, St. Gallen, Sturm Graz, Austria Salzburg, ASK Kottingbrunn and LASK.[1]
Amoah was top scorer in the Swiss Super League during the 1999–00 season, contributing 25 goals to St. Gallen's title-winning season.[2] At St. Gallen he also memorably scored one of the goals and provided an assist as they overturned a 1–0 first-leg deficit to win 2–0 in the second leg and eliminate Premier League side Chelsea from the 2000–01 UEFA Cup.[2][3]
Following Amoah's successes at St. Gallen, Austrian Bundesliga club SK Sturm Graz paid a transfer fee of 6.5 million Swiss francs (about €4.3 million) to sign him.[2]
He earned 15 caps for the Ghana national team between 1999 and 2003, scoring 10 goals.[1]
