Richard Kingson
Richard Paul Franck Kingson (née Kingston, born 13 June 1978 in Accra), also known as Faruk Gürsoy, is an association football player who plays as agoalkeeper. He is currently playing for Wigan Athletic, having been released from his contract with the then English Championship club Birmingham City. He represents the Ghana national football team as an international.
Kingson is the starting goalkeeper of the Ghana national football team, and was called up for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations and the2010 Africa Cup of Nations.
During the 2006 World Cup, the Ghanaian FA stated that his name is Kingston; however, the player’s shirt used the correct spelling of his name, as confirmed by Kingson himself.
He was voted as an All-Star Goalkeeper during the 2008 African Cup of Nations Tournament in Ghana. The Team of the Tournament was decided by the Technical Study Group (TSG) after careful observations of all the tournament’s matches.
In 2008, he scored a goal for Ghana in a friendly – a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw against Tanzania.
As first-choice goalkeeper and team captain he was instrumental in leading Ghana to the final of the 2010 tournament, and was again selected for the all-star team along with Egypt custodian Essam El-Hadary.
In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa Kingston was selected in Ghanas opening game against Serbia.
Kingson is the brother of Laryea Kingston, who is also a member of the Ghana national team. He is a naturalised citizen of Turkey and his Turkish name is Faruk Gürsoy.
Mulamba Ndaye
Pierre Ndaye Mulamba (born 4 November 1948) is a former association football midfielder from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire. He was nicknamed “Mutumbula” (“assassin”) and“Volvo”.
“Volvo” Ndaye is one of Africa’s football legends, a dazzling striker who helped Zaire to qualify for the World Cup back in 1974, and who still holds the record for scoring most goals in a single African Cup of Nations tournament – scoring nine times in 1974.
Ndaye was born in Luluabourg (now Kananga). In 1973, he starred for AS Vita Club of Kinshasa, who won the African Cup of Champions Clubs. He was a second-half substitute for the Zaire national team againstMorocco in the decisive match in qualification for the 1974 World Cup. In 1974 Ndaye played for Zaire in both the African Cup of Nations in Egypt and the World Cup in West Germany. In Egypt he scored all nine goals, still a record, as Zaire won the tournament. He was awarded the Order of the Leopard by President Mobutu Sese Seko. In Germany he captained the team, and played in the 2-0 defeat by Scotland, but was sent off after 22 minutes against Yugoslavia. Zaire were already losing 4–0 by then, and finally lost 9–0. Ndaye said later that the team had underperformed, either in protest or from loss of morale, after not receiving a promised $45,000 match bonus.
In 1994, Ndaye was honoured at the African Cup of Nations in Tunisia. On returning to Zaire, was shot in the leg by robbers who mistakenly assumed a former sports star would be a wealthy target. He was sheltered by Emmanuel Paye-Paye for eight months’ recuperation. During the First Congo War, Ndaye’s eldest son was killed and in 1996 he fled to South Africa as a refugee, alone and destitute. He went toJohannesburg and then Cape Town, where he was taken in by a family in a township. In 1998, a minute’s silence was held at the African Cup of Nations in Burkina Faso after an erroneous report that Mulamba had died in a diamond mining accident in Angola.
By 2010 Ndaye was working as a coach of local amateur teams and had married a local woman. Forgotten Gold, a documentary filmed in 2008–9, follows him in South Africa and on a visit back to Congo. He also met with Danny Jordaan, head of the organising committee for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
