TRIBUTE TO A COOL GENTLEMAN, A TALENTED, CLASSY & STYLISH GOALKEEPER.

A gem of a gentleman Wandeh Njie was. A standout goalkeeper of his generation from Roots Fc where he made his name as talented young keeper before moving to Real De Banjul where he innately scribed his name as a legend winning all domestic titles with the whites and setting up a very high standard for other greats like Pa Dembo Touray to follow.

At national team level Wandeh was amongst the list of young talented goalkeepers who were expected to succeed the likes of Sang Ndong who moved into coaching and management earlier than anticipated. Alongside the iconic George Lobba they had a competitive but a very healthy and respectful competition as the Scorpion number one as well as at club level, as both represented the two fiercest rivals in our league in Wallidan and Real De Banjul.

Probably Wandeh Njie’s most prolific performance in goal for The Scorpions was against Ghana 🇬🇭 on the 12th November, 1994 during The AFCON 96 qualifiers at the Independence Stadium. Despite Ghana and Fortuna Koln superstar Charles Akonor brilliant wonderful performance and two goals with his redoubtable left foot, Wandeh made multiple brilliant saves and was arguably our best player. The game ended 1:2 in favor of the visitors but “Boy Wandeh” and the scorpions as underdogs gave the Black Stars who were probably the best team in Africa back then a befitting contest.

Wandeh’s charisma was so graciously painted all over his personality. His contiguous demanor in his playing style, his long sleeved goalkeeper vest alongside the fashionable gloves caught everyone’s attention making him one of the most well-dressed, stylish and class act goalkeepers of his generation. Fly high legend.

Condolences to his immediate family and friends
