Angry Kingson threatens to quit Ghana after Congo clash
Ghana first choice goalkeeper Richard Kingson has
thrown his international future into doubt after
angrily claiming he will retire from the Black
Stars after Friday’s match against Congo.

The ex-Blackpool shot-stopper made the threat
after he was prevented from beating up an abusive
fan during the Black Stars training session on
Monday.

After the angry clash, Kingson told a reporter
“Friday match will be my last”.

Kingson’s longevity has been a butt of jokes for
some local fans who feel the 33-year-old must quit
the Black Stars.

During Monday’s training session at the Ohene
Djan Stadium, the former Blackpool gloves man
allowed in a soft goal during which a fan used an
abusive language to mock at him.

He took off his gloves and was prevented by the
Black Stars medical team from leaving the field to
beat up the fan from the stands.

Kingson was jeered anytime he made an error and
Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Sammy Adjei applauded for
making saves.

After Tuesday’s training session, he told an Etv
Ghana reporter who asked about his expectations on
the Congo match: “Friday will be my last match
and I will retire from the national team.”

It is unsure if Ghana’s safest pair of hands is
serious or has been infuriated by the behaviour of
the fans.
