I was at this game, 10 at the time. Really thought Lamptey was going to be some kind of world beater. Never worked out for us, went to Coventry when Big Ron took over there, after Villa sacked him but then didn’t hear any more about him. Anyone know what happened?
it's a really sad story. He was from an extremely poverty stricken background and was illiterate. His agent took advantage of him and kept shipping him off to different clubs and taking most of the money through dodgy contracts. He wasn't allowed to settle anywhere because the scumbag kept abusing his trust. It destroyed him
I well remember this match back during my A-Levels, great times. Nil Lamptey made a major impact I remember. Thanks for posting these.
Thanks for these great videos!!
I love you Villa Boy
RIP Ugo, Dalian and Greavsie
Doug ellis upper that night. Only about 12k in attendance remember Lamptey goal think Big Ron re signed him when we went to Cov.
