"Indiscipline cost Richard Kingson AFCON place'' - Langabel

Published on: 11 January 2012

Ghana's soccer chief drummer Joseph Langabel claims insubordination cost goalkeeper Richard Kingson a call-up for the 2012 Nations Cup.

According to him, Kingston left the Black Stars camp ahead of the friendly against Nigeria in October last year which was postponed due to riots in London.

This he claims infuriated Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic who punished the unattached goalkeeper.

"Richard left the team to Manchester when we arrived in London for the friendly game against Nigeria with no reason,'' Langabel told Joy Sports.

"So if the first match that was called off due to the riots in London had come on, Ghana would have played without a second goalkeeper because at the time we had only Adam Kwarasey.

''What I have seen in this coach is that, if he tells you something and you don’t listen, I'm afraid he will do away with you no matter who you are.''

Kingson have played in five Africa Nations Cup finals.
