Nii Odartey Lamptey<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

FORMER GHANA great Nii Odartey Lamptey is not happy about the standard of football in the country.<\/p>\n

The ex-Black Stars midfielder attributed the deplorable trend to lack of proper youth system in Ghana presently.<\/p>\n

Odartey Lamptey, who is a product of the colts system in the late 1980s, said he is not happy about the way the youth system in the country is being handled.<\/p>\n

This, he said, has led to a shortage of quality materials in the top flight Ghana league.<\/p>\n

Odartey Lamptey pointed at Ghana\u2019s poor showing in youth games recently, especially the Meteors\u2019 failure to qualify for the 2012 Olympics Games, to buttress his claim.<\/p>\n

The former Black Starlets player therefore implored authorities to sit up and inject some energy in the youth football system in the country.<\/p>\n

Odartey Lamptey benefitted immensely from the youth system in Ghana in the early parts of his career.<\/p>\n

He, together with the likes of Samuel Osei Kufuor, Alex Opoku, Serbastian Barnes and Mohammed Gargo, made history by leading Ghana to conquer the world at the under-17 level in 1991.<\/p>\n
