How The Football Mafia RUINED The Greatest African Wonderkid Of All Time

[@tombowers6713]

I don't blame Lamptey for his downfall. He was abused as a kid and taken advantage of by agents as an adult. Tragic story.

[@7415_Gamer]

He must have done something wrong whiles growing up that gave him all those bad lucks. I've realized that in life, we need to do things that will give us good luck and those good lucks will help us in the journey of life.

[@Dalethegoat]

I feel really bad

[@Foe_K]

@@7415_Gamer not true

[@heijimikata7181]

@@7415_Gamer This is blatantly false. Many people of the lower class were kind to others throughout their whole life, and they barely get anything back. Sometimes, for them, it is enough but that’s tough to live with. Bigger fishes will always swallow smaller ones.

[@7415_Gamer]

@@heijimikata7181 When you are kind and don't get the blessings, it passes on to your children. I've seen a friend with an envious job, well paid and comfortable. He's a miser and wouldn't give anything to friends. Her mum was good to strangers and others. However, this guy is closer to the mum than any of his siblings. He's been helping the mum from childhood and at almost 50yrs, still taking care of his bedridden mum.

[@estevanruiz6500]

It really is one of my favorite channels. You can tell he really does his research & makes it interesting to watch. 10/10 every time from me 👏🏼

[@Blueclues16]

I concur. But to me, this channel is the Ronaldo to Raymar’s Messi(Raymar-Football) both are amazing. Carrying their own unique style of narrating but shares the same goal. You can say same same but different. I love them both.

[@SurfingInternet]

@@Blueclues16imo raymar is intensively boring , not just how he says things but also the organization of the video. What were supposed to be videos that educated you on football prodigies became excessive self-opinionated rambling

[@JSashiKumar]

That ending was the best. This guy deserves to be happy. Glad he saw it through.

[@TSPH1992]

Family, children. He got the last laugh after all

[@timetowakeup7394]

[@kofimawuli8940]

Odartey Lamptey has really suffered in the hands of cruel people. May God grant us another of his talent.

[@talkforlondon]

Its sad how his wife done him dirty, 3 kids with his wife and none was his.😢

[@Diivoniis]

He a way better man than me because if I found that out I would be in jail for life 😂

[@8kigana]

I looked into that and it was true. That woman was wicked messed up. He had children that passed away(2) with her. Then as you very well know, she cheated on him and birthed 3 girls from another man or men. He knew something was not right and his girls were not his own and did a dna test on them and found out they weren't his. He divorced her and she sued for his apartment and other things and the judge denied her which was awesome, he would've lost here in the US I think. I know his alleged daughters hated their mother for that. So check out his ex wife's defense. She lied and said he couldn't have kids after their children's death and he asked or they agreed she could have children by another man/men. Apparently he could have kids. After he divorced her he remarried and had kids.

[@synofearjah7631]

That's Real Story Of Nii Odartey Lamptey. I'm happy you do this important video of Ghana Black Star Hero. Massive Footballer and I like how he plays his football with Technique, The Story is vey sad For Sure 😢

[@fredshortzz]

As a Ghanaian I love and hate this video at the same time because of what his wife did to him. I never got to watch him but mom used to tell me that odartey was world class even better than abedi Pele( GHANAIAN PELE)🇬🇭🖤

[@8kigana]

was he knighted?

[@iamerror1699]

@@8kigana Of course not, idk why he says 'sir'. IIRC no African footballer was ever knighted, and only S.A. one was Pele. There was one MBE for Eniola Aluko from Lagos, Nigeria. MBE for Raheem Sterling, from Jamaica. One for Shaun Goater, but he was born in British Territory, Hamiltion in Bermuda. And I think the oldest one(1965, Jan) was for Mohammad Anwar Elahee born in Port Louis, Mauritius.

[@8kigana]

@@iamerror1699 wait a minute, Pele was knighted (I will have to look that up)? Brazil where he is from which wasn't ever part of the British common wealth.
