I actually never knew players figure this one even more so he is not a player in Indonesia. I had never seen him play once, though he was given the label "new star" in the U-17 World Cup 1991 Italy. Even then the stars from Ghana beat the name Juan Sebastian Veron (Argentina - Lazio, Manchester United) and Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus - Italy) as the best player in the World Cup.
He was Nii Lamptey. Men born in Ghana December 10, 1974. Growing up with sad stories since childhood, Lamptey discovered light in football. Even a Pele himself, calling the young man who started his career at Young teen Corners is "The Next Pele".
Several years ago, I heard his name on a glass screen football event as tragic young talent. From there I was interested to find more players.
Lamptey was really shines when he was young. In addition to the award as the best player at the U-17 World Cup in 1991, in 1993 he memimping "black satellites" nickname Ghana U-20 won the U-23 African Cup of 1993. In the same year Nii Lamptey lead black satellites as runner-up in the U-20 World Cup in Australia.
A year earlier, the Spanish Olympic 1992, Lamptey joined the youth squad as Ghana won a bronze medal.
At the World Cup U-17 1991, The New York Times called him "The Boy Who Would Be Soccer's King". He scored his first goal for Ghana at senior level at the age of 16 years. A remarkable achievement for a young man who through his childhood with great suffering.
His career in Europe began when he appeared in the Belgian league with RSC Anderlecht. He signed a contract at age 15. Even in the age limit was changed when the Belgian League Anderlecht Lamptey contracted to 16 years. Lamptey himself made his debut at the age of 16 years in the Belgian league and is the youngest player Belgian league. Play of the year 1990 - 1993, Nii Lamptey recorded 30 appearances and 9 goals.
PSV Eindhoven tempted to sign him in 1993. He also flew to the Netherlands to join PSV. During the season there Nii recorded 22 appearances and 10 goals.
Only after that, his career plunged to its nadir. The irony is not due to decreased game, although the injury was suffered, but because of Nii Lamptey handled by the wrong player's agent.
The Italian agent, Antonio Caliendo, called a greedy player agents who only profit from a Nii Lamptey glories. Told Antonio trying to find a club that dared buy Lamptey at a high price in the hope of getting 25% of the value of the transfer.
Gluttony agents "supported" by ignorance, ignorance Lamptey understand the contents of the contract. Lamptey acknowledged that education is not supported as a child contributed to this condition.
Only one season at PSV he was bought by Aston Villa are even more "smaller" than PSV. It's just an injury, the ups and downs a game, and the sacking of manager Ron Atkinson made his career in England grim though at first he showed a nice start. He only scored 3 goals in the Champions league trophy.
Lamptey followed Ron Atkinson to Coventry City. Here, proved he could not adapt to playing in the Premier League as restrictive level. Only six appearances and scored 2 goals and also because of Ron Atkinson was sacked Coventry, he is labeled failing. Lamptey moved to Venice 1995-1996 season.
Year 1996 was a tragic end to a career Lamptey timnasnya when sent off at the 1996 Africa Cup semifinal match against South Africa when Ghana.
In Italy he was unsuccessful, his adventures continue to Argentina when he joined Union Santa Fe in 1997. Argentina into a new grief. She lost a child due to a rare disease. He could not bury his son in Ghana because the authorities refused.
Lamptey blame black magic on her son's departure. Lamptey believes his marriage to a woman who is considered "different tribes" led him and his family use - in order.
Sense of loss makes it go from Argentina to Turkey to join Ankaragucu (10 appearances 1 goal of the season 1997/1998) and Uniao Leiria (season 1998/1999 7 appearances).
Lamptey get a new agent that sends he played in Greuther Fürth (1999-2001) who competed in the Bundesliga 2. Cultural differences and racism make him and his family wanted to get out of Germany. In Germany he also felt grief back when his son died at childbirth.
Stress and frustration, he flew to China and playing for Shandong Luneng Thai Shan in China League in 2001-2002. Here at last he felt the pleasure of playing again. Reported playing back the shine. Here Lamptey also felt to be a star because he was so loved by fans.
Only a year later he moved to Al-Nassr of Saudi Arabia. 2005-2006 season he finally returned home to join Ghana Asante Ekoko. He says his return is also to be able to take care of the school he founded for children - children. The school is also proud to be something Lamptey. In 2008 the school accommodates 400 students.
Only a year playing in Ghana, Nii Lamptey finally put an end to his football adventure full of tragedy in the club Jomo Cosmos in South Africa. Wikipedia notes Lamptey joined the site from 2006 - 2008 at Jomo Cosmos.
Furthermore Nii chose to become cattle ranchers before in 2009 he became an assistant coach at the club Ghana Sekondi Wise Fighters.
Nii Lamptey is now better known as the language of media crews to name a young player who came from shining, but ultimately did not have a brilliant career.
He is known as a young player who "misguided" do not get good guidance, especially in terms of mental and knowledge. 15-year career in Europe, Argentina and Asia, more tinged with failure.
Analysts also highlight the many trips back and forth Ghana - Europe to meet the call of the national team, as he did not shine cause dilevel club.
But Nii Lamptey himself describes his career as a struggle and he was as tenacious fighter who refused to be defeated situations.
On the other hand, the struggle and the rise and fall of Ghana player's career a lesson for all parties of the importance of mental and guiding young players must provide adequate education, because they not only live football and football is not only a 11 vs 11 in the field of green.
