Ex-Ghana star Nii Odartey Lamptey says he regrets not listening to his mother when she advised against his marriage to ex-wife Gloria Lamptey, revealing its difficult to advice footballers in relationship matters.
Gloria-and-Odartey
Odartey Lamptey recently brought a finality to a protracted and bitter divorce from Gloria Appiah, his wife of 23 years.
DNA tests proved that the former Anderlecht, PSV Eindhoven and Aston Villa star was not the biological father of their three children, following which Gloria resorted to court action seeking an equal share of Lamptey’s properties, including the Glow Lamp Football Academy, acquired while they were married.
Justice Cecilia Don-Chebe Agbevey denied Gloria’s request and even gave her a 30-day ultimatum to vacate the seven-bedroom house at East Legon in which she lives. She was compensated with a four-bedroom house at Dome, as well as a car.
Lamptey in an interview revealed that he now regrets going against the advice from his family when he decided to marry her.
