Known for his energy and commitment on the pitch, he played for clubs such as FC Midtjylland, FC Copenhagen, and Viborg FF during his career in Denmark. The former Accra Great Olympics star's ability to operate as a striker, attacking midfielder, or winger made him a valuable asset for every team he represented. He also left his mark on the international stage. Representing Ghana at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens and the 2006 World Cup, Pimpong famously won the crucial penalty that Stephen Appiah converted to send the Black Stars into the round of 16 at their debut Mundial. In total, he made 10 appearances for Ghana, scoring once, as cited by Transfermarkt. Since retiring in 2014, Pimpong has embraced family life with humility and purpose. Beyond his personal success, he now guides his son, Malik Pimpong, who is emerging as a bright talent at FC Midtjylland. According to Soccerway, Malik has already scored nine goals in six Danish U19 League matches this season and represented Denmark at youth level, continuing the Pimpong legacy with promise and pride. It remains to be seen if Malik will switch his allegiance and play for Ghana at the national team level, just like his dad.
