    Black Stars defender Alidu Seidu has revealed that football rescued him from a life of vandalism and crime while growing up.

    According to him, during his youth in Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region, he was involved in unlawful activities, including theft and vandalism.

    He admitted that he used to walk the streets carrying machetes, ready to engage in criminal acts whenever the opportunity arose.

    The Stade Rennais player noted that despite his father’s punishments, it was his uncle’s intervention that encouraged him to focus on football.

    “We walked the streets with knives or machetes. I committed thefts, vandalism, and small-time trafficking. My mother was always crying, and sometimes I ran away at night to avoid my father’s punishment.

    “Fortunately, my uncle was there and pushed me towards football because he knew I had potential. He always supported me, and football saved my life!” he said, as reported by Quest-France.

    The Black Stars defender stated that becoming a professional footballer helped him escape his troubled past.

    “It puts things into perspective. I’m still lucky to have become a professional player and to be here. I always try to turn the negative into something positive; it’s in my character,” he added.

    Since making his debut in June 2022, Seidu has played 15 matches for the Black Stars and has scored one goal for the team.
