Born in 1998 in Lagos' Olusosun slum near Africa's largest landfill, Osimhen grew up in a single room with six siblings after his mother's early death, his father scraping by as a dishwasher amid unpaid rent and collapsing roofs. Football became his escape through barefoot games and scavenged boots, leading to a breakthrough at Nigeria's U-17 World Cup in 2015 where he scored 10 goals for the Golden Boot, then pro stints at Wolfsburg, Lille, Napoli's 2023 Scudetto win, and now Galatasaray since July 2025. He shares his story to inspire kids from the same hardships: start in the gutter, but greatness can make your name echo for 1,000 years.

Key Takeaway

At age 12, Victor Osimhen huddled in a fetid gutter, sobbing over his family's cut power and endless struggles. In his raw Players' Tribune essay, he calls it proof of God's grace that anyone knows his name today.
