Dele Alampasu, the 16yr old Golden Eaglet rose above his critics to deliver an immeasurable performance at the just concluded FIFA U-17 World cup where he emerged the golden glove winner for conceding just 5goals and delivering quite a number of saves particularly in the final against Mexico.


Dele initially faced enough criticism for his poor performance against Sweden were he conceded 3 cheap goals which were directly his faults. He was dubbed the weakest link in the already promising Golden Eaglet squad but went on to keep 4 clean sheets and conceded just 1goal in the remaining fixtures. He's indeed a starlet and a role model.


The Nigerian born Keeper of Togolese decent (Parents are said to be immigrants from Togo according to a reliable source) was a young lad who sells pure-water around Ogba area in Lagos. According to our source, Dele lived the life of every struggling Nigerian on the streets. He sells pure water after school for his parents and whenever he can, he joins up with some boys who play street football. His road to success began when he was playing his street soccer before he was snapped up to an academy. His performance was then rewarded as he was selected to be the first choice goalie for the Golden Eaglet.



The source also said so many of the players were from average or struggling homes who played football on the streets. He singled out another player Obasi as someone he's played with at a place called kara, a local surburb just around the Ogun river bridge. he was excited how their perseverance had breeded success.



Such an inspiring story. Whoever would think a pure water seller would become a cult hero today. We're proud of Dele and the Eaglets. All thanks to coach Manu Garba and his crew who narrowed their search to the grassroot academies, something that has been lacking for years as players were picked on merit. We hope this feat continues,



Their performance was superb that the world wondered if Africans really had such World beaters. History was made! 4 )-17 World cup trophies, a feat Brazil is yet to match or England the founders of football. Now the world celebrate promising stars like Kelechi Iheanaho, Musa Yahaya, Musa Muhammad, Dele Alampasu, and the rest. We say congrats once again to the GOLDEN Eaglets for truly standing by their name and bringing us back the GOLD medal and lest we forget, Congrats to coach Manu Garba, he was an outstanding figure aswell.

God's time is the best. he might even drink sachet water again not to talk of selling it!

Wow! Time changes yesterday.

patient pays!

Where is that 'boy'(parading as a female) claiming to have a crush on Alampasu on Front page? Would she have said what she said if Alampasu was still a satchet-water seller?

The Nigerian born Keeper of
Togolese decent (Parents are

From grass to grace!
From zero to hero!

Your prayer has been answered as the guy is 16. You people thinks people age same way. Shior! Instead of you to appreciate the young man story, you are here with your 3310 nokia cursing yourself. I know if it has been blackberry porche that you aare using, you will never have used it to curse. Poverty stinking ming, abeg park well joor.

Yea, That's why i Advice people Never to Give Up on thier Dreams. God Works in Mysterious Ways never Known to Man.

I really Commend Coaches For Sticking Sorely to Grace root Players, Players Hungry For Success. There are Talents in the Street Menh. Raw Football Talents.

I hope the Under 19's and 20's Coaches would Borrow a Leaf From this. I want Us to Rule World Football.

So some of them are actually from poor families? Used to think the selection thing is more of money and connection.
If there's any lesson to learn is to Follow your dreams and aim for the best in anything you do.

Mods front page please!

I'd only want you to know one thing. Poverty and eking out a living on the streets makes a teen look like 35. Same way some of these thieving politicians look like 40 at 70 with the soft life of comfort and opulence they have stolen over the years. I see the likes of Dele out there daily on the streets of Lagos. The day a government that has compassion on us comes into power U'd see greater wonders than these. Meanwhile celebrate these World beaters whose stories bring hope to several millions and quit baseless assumptions!

congratz to him..

GOD'S TIME IS THE BEST

I think you were misfed as a child, do you know how many children of this days who don't look their age because of the picture we have of how people are supposed lo look like at a particular age. This days there are more teenagers with super rapid growth than those that have the normal Growth, according to what it used to be like.

And if you look at it from your view every country in that tournament had at least two players over 17. didn't you notice the Swedish and Argentine players with full grown beards ? which player in Nigeria did you see with that.
