from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mamadou Aliou "N'Jo Léa" Kéïta A (* 1952 , † April 11, 2004 in Conakry ) was a Guinean football player .

N'Jo Léa played for Hafia FC between 1972 and 1976 . It is not known whether he joined the club beyond this period. In 1972 he was the top scorer with 58 goals scored . In addition to winning the Guinean championship - Hafia FC became champions every year between 1971 and 1979 - N'Jo Léa and his club took part in the final of the African Cup of Champions Club several times . After the losing final in 1976 , several Hafia FC players, including Kéïta, were brought before a tribunal under President Ahmed Sékou Touré and charged.

With the national team N'Jo Léa took part in the African Cup of Nations 1974 , where the team was eliminated in the preliminary round; Kéïta played two games without a goal. In 1976 he became vice-African champion with the national team , which is still the country's greatest success in football today. He was also the tournament's top scorer with four goals in six games. Between 1972 and 1977 N'Jo Léa also took part in other international matches: He ran a total of 13 (documented) games and scored five goals. When qualifying for the 1978 World Cup , there was a clash between Guinea and Ghana on October 31, 1976 ; Ghana won the first leg 2-1. After Naby Laye “Papa” Camara's Guinean opening goal in the 51st minute, N'Jo Léa made it 2-0 five minutes later, before Emmanuel Ofei Ansah scored the 2-1 goal three minutes later. The game became known because the Algerian referee Abdelkader Aouissi, instead of the previously introduced penalty shoot-out and contrary to the regulations, scheduled a replay.

In 1975, Kéita was elected Africa's Footballer of the Year together with the Cameroonian Roger Milla and behind the Moroccan Ahmed Faras in second place.

Mamadou Aliou Kéïta died on April 11, 2004 from cardiac arrest ; he was laid out with public sympathy in the people's palace at Conakry and buried eight days after his death.

In the summer of 2009, President Moussa Dadis Camara honored various players, including the late Kéïta, and declared that he wanted to revive Guinean football.
