Laryea Kingson: Former Ghana star laments unfulfilled Barcelona and Champions League dream

Former Ghana international Laryea Kingston reveals playing against Barcelona in a pre-season fixture ranks among his biggest achievements but reckons he could have gone a step further to wear the jersey of the five-time European champions.

The erstwhile winger ranks among Ghana’s most celebrated icons, owing to his exploits with the Black Stars, especially in the qualifiers for the 2006 World Cup and at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) on home soil.

From lining up for local sides Great Olympics and Hearts of Oak to wearing the jersey of Russian giants Lokomotiv Moscow, Scottish side Heart of Midlothian and Dutch fold Vitesse Arnhem, the Ghanaian stated he missed out on one piece of his club puzzle.
