It was in the news a while ago that former Ghanaian international, Nii Odartey Lamptey’s wife was allegedly having an affair with Elikem the tailor and now the current assistant manager of Sekondi Wise Fighters has rubbished rumors that, he asked his former wife to sleep with other men to get pregnant because he was impotent.
“Never, never.. which man in his right senses would say that,” Odartey Lamptey told Starr FM in an interview.
The 41-year-old after sensing marriage infidelity on the part of his wife proceeded to conduct a DNA test only to realize that, all the three children were not his biological children.
And according to Odartey Lamptey, the case is still in court and is hoping that a ruling is delivered soon.
Asked how he managed to find out about his former wife’s infidelity, the former U-17 World Cup winner answered,”I am more than Anas.”
During his career he played as a striker from 1990 until 2008 notably for Aston Villa, PSV Eindhoven, Coventry City and the Ghana national football team.
He is known foremost for his erratic career, in which he became a superstar as a teenager and then suffered a long string of failures which burnt him out well before his time.
Odartey Lamptey has been used as a byword for a cautionary tale of putting too much pressure on young players to be successful.
He also played for Anderlecht, Venezia, Unión Santa Fe, Ankaragücü, União Leiria, Greuther Fürth, Shandong Luneng, Al-Nassr, Asante Kotoko and Jomo Cosmos.
