Former Ghana captain, Stephen Appiah has revealed that it was terrible to see Laryea Kingston when he was dropped from the Black Stars squad for the World Cup in 2010.
Ghana reached the quarter finals, the furthest an African nation had reached, before Uruguay eliminated them on penalties in South Africa.
Luis Suarez handled a goal bound Dominic Adiyiah's last minute header before Asamoah Gyan missed the resulting spot-kick.
Laryea Kingston, who was very integral in the Black Stars qualifiers for the World Cup in 2010, wasn't named in the final squad by Serbian tactician Milovan Rajevac.
Appiah said it was terrible to see Laryea Kingston miss out in the final squad for the mundial.
“In France 2010 when Laryea Kingston was dropped, it was very difficult because when we talk about the World Cup, Laryea Kingston was one of the players who made it possible for Ghana. In 2006 he couldn’t get a chance to go to Germany,” he told JoySports.
“In 2010 we camped in France and he was dropped, it was bad to see Laryea Kingston that evening. It was difficult because you don’t know what was going through his head that night because he did everything possible for the team to qualify.
“I went to his room with Richard Kingson his brother and it was terrible. I went to sleep thinking of Laryea Kingston, it was bad, very bad," he added.
