Richard Kingson dreams of Stars return

Ex-Black Stars goalkeeper Richard Kingston is still eyeing a return to the Black Stars team after over two years of absence, according to his brother Laryea.
Kingston who is currently without a club lost his place as the Black Stars first choice goalie to Adam Kwarasey before the 2012 Nations Cup in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
Kingston, popularly known as Olele, is remembered for his exploits at the 2006 World Cup in Germany where he emerged as one of the best goalkeepers of the tournament.
He was also key in Ghana's silver medal winning feat at the 2010 Nations Cup in Angola and the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
The 34-year-old who has since been frozen from the Black Stars team due to his lack of competitive football is still keened on a return to the Black Stars.
His younger brother Laryea Kingson says the former Blackpool glovesman has not given up on his international future.
"He still feels he has what it takes to help the national team again," he told Joy sports
"He has an advantage because he is a goalkeeper, and for them they can keep for a very long time.
"He is still active, and every time we are talking is all about football, and for him he still wants to play.''
Kingston has been out of competitive football for over two seasons since his released from English side Blackpool.
