Story Of Dele Alampasu,The Golden Eaglets Keeper Who Was Once A
Pure-water Seller:

he inspire me most!!!

.
Alampasu, the 16yr old Golden Eaglet keeper rose above his critics to
deliver an immeasurable performance at the just concluded FIFA U-17
World cup where he emerged the golden glove winner for conceding
just 5goals and delivering quite a number of saves particularly in the
final against Mexico.
Dele initially faced enough criticism for his poor performance against
Sweden where he conceded 3 cheap goals which were directly his
faults. He was dubbed the weakest link in the already promising
Golden Eaglet squad but went on to keep 4 clean sheets and
conceded just 1 goal in the remaining fixtures. He’s indeed a starlet
and a role model.
The Nigerian born Keeper of Togolese decent (Parents are said to be
immigrants from Togo according to a reliable source) was a young
lad who sells pure-water around Ogba area in Lagos. According to
our source, Dele lived the life of every struggling Nigerian on the
streets. He sells pure water after school for his parents and whenever
he can, he joins up with some boys who play street football. His road
to success began when he was playing his street soccer before he was
snapped up to an academy. His performance was then rewarded as he
was selected to be the first choice goalie for the Golden Eaglets.
The source also said so many of the players were from average or
struggling homes who played football on the streets. He singled out
another player Obasi as someone he’s played with at a place called
kara, a local surburb just around the Ogun river bridge. he was
excited how their perseverance had brought about success.
What an inspiring story. Who would think a pure water seller would
become a hero today. We’re proud of Dele and the Eaglets. All thanks
to coach Manu Garba and his crew who narrowed their search to the
grassroot academies, something that has been lacking for years as
players were picked on merit.
Their performance was superb that the world wondered if Africans
really had such World beaters. History was made! four World cup

trophies, a feat Brazil is yet to match or England the founders of
football. Now the world celebrate promising stars like Kelechi
Iheanaho, Musa Yahaya, Musa Muhammad, Dele Alampasu, and the
rest.
We say congrats once again to the GOLDEN Eaglets for truly standing
by their name and bringing us back the GOLD medal and lest we
forget, Congrats to coach Manu Garba, he was an outstanding figure
as well.

once again congrats
