Former Black Stars goalkeeper Richard Kingson confessed that his wife suffered a miscarriage after he was invited for a match against Slovenia a few years ago.
He recounted that they got into an argument after the call up and that led to the unfortunate incident.
“Somewhere in 2002 or 03, when I was invited to play for the national team, my wife was not happy about it because of the way the FA was treating me. She did not want me to go. I told her that I wanted to serve my nation and she said no. We came to a conclusion that I will not go but I had already given my passport and my luggage to a friend to take to the airport. She did not know about it," he told Nathaniel Attoh on the Joy Sports Link.
"I was at home when the team was ready to leave to Slovenia, they called me and I said I was coming. My wife had locked the door and there was a burglar proof there. I was begging her to let me honor the invitation for the last time and she said okay. Later she changed her mind and she did not want me to go. I was looking for a chance to run. When I made an attempt to run, my body pushed her and she fell down and at that time she was three months pregnant. After I came back from Slovenia, she had a miscarriage.”
