I’ve Lost A Father – Odartey Lamptey Mourns Keshi. by naptu2: 11:50am On Jun 08, 2016 |
Here's a little background for people who don't know who Nii Odartey Lamptey is. Odartey Lamptey was the star of the ghanaian team that won the 1991 under 17 World Cup in Italy. He was so good that many people (including me) predicted that he would be a greater star than Abedi Pele. The Ghanaian authorities felt that it would be better to have the core of the Black Stars playing in Ghana, so that they can blend easily, so they refused to allow Lamptey join a foreign club (they also raised money to ensure that Edward Ansah returned to Ghana from Iwuanyanwu Nationale). Stephen Keshi smuggled Lamptey from Ghana to Nigeria and got him a nigerian passport. He then took Lamptey to Belgium and got him a contract at Anderlecht. Lamptey lived with Keshi for the first 6 months that he was in Belgium. Here is his reaction to the news of Keshi's death.

Nii Odartey Lamptey played for Anderlecht, PSV Eindhoven and Aston Villa. His career was cut short by personal problems. Some people believe that too much pressure was put on him (he was just 16 when he signed for Anderlecht). Odartey Lamptey won the U17 World Cup and Olympic bronze medal with Ghana. 1 Like 1 Share |
