Former Ghana international Nii Odartey Lamptey has admitted his lack of education badly affected him during his playing days.

According to the ex-Anderlecht attacker, he signed most contracts without truly understanding the implications on his career.

The 45-year-old played from 1990 until 2008 notably for Aston Villa, PSV Eindhoven, Coventry City, Asante Kotoko among other clubs.

Lamptey made 38 appearances for Black Stars between 1991 and 1996.

“My educational level affected me greatly in my career as a footballer. I signed most contracts without even knowing the implications of it on my career…,” he told Nana Kweku Kaninja on Angel TV.

Playing for over ten clubs throughout his career, he believed that his low level of education caused that.

“They made me play in so many teams but if I knew I would have just played in one or two clubs,” he lamented
