Nii Lamptey never earned the place in the first team as he was expected to. This was a surprise for most Villa fans, as he has showed extreme skill on the pitch in the rare occasion that he was put on. He went on loan for Villa from Anderlecht and left again a year later, since he had not appeared sufficiently for his work permit to be reinstated. Almost immediately after he got back to Anderlecht, Ron Atkinson loaned him again, only then he managed Coventry!
