Brima Sesay (born 27 January 1981 in Kenema, Sierra Leone – died on April 4, 2009) nicknamed Small Attouga, was a Sierra Leonean international goalkeeper. Sesay played for Ports Authority F.C. in the Sierra Leone National Premier League and for the Sierra Leone national football team known as the Leone Stars. He was one of the best young goalkeepers in Sierra Leone.

Early life

Sesay was born in Kenema, Sierra Leone to Temne parents. Although born in Kenema, he moved to the capital city of Freetown at a young age.

Career

Small Attouga,[1] as he was commonly called, was recruited into active football by his late boss Brima Attouga Kamara, a former goalkeeper for Sierra Leone national football team. Having been initiated into active football, small attouga made a name for himself while playing in a series of junior league competitions played all over Freetown. He won several best goalkeeper awards with youth clubs like Blackhall Strikers, Junior Cenegal, and Best Contractors.

In 1992, Brima Attouga Kamara brought him to Ports Authority F.C. youth team.

In 1996, he was promoted from the youth team, to the senior squad. However, his tiny physical appearance did no good during that time to convince his coach to become the club first choice goalkeeper.

In 1997, Small Attouga was outstanding in goal in an international friendly against a top Liberian side Invincible Eleven. His performance in that match was enough to prove to his critics that he indeed deserved to be the club first choice goalkeeper. And from that time, he had excelled as Ports Authority first choice goalkeeper, and as well as one of the best goalkeepers in Sierra Leone.

International career

He made his senior debut for Sierra Leone in 2000.

Death

He died of unspecified causes In April 2009.[2] His funeral was held in Freetown and was attended by several prominent Sierra Leonean footballers, including the country's most popular footballer Mohamed Kallon.
