Former Black Stars midfielder Sulley Ali Muntari has made a bold claim that his former Ghana teammate Richard Olele Kingson is the greatest ever goalkeeper in the whole world.

The pair played together for the senior national team the Black Stars for nearly ten years having played in more than four AFCON tournaments and two FIFA World Cups in 2006 and 2010.

Sulley Muntari made his debut for Ghana in 2002 in a friendly game against Slovenia before he was forced into retirement after the events of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The former Inter Milan goalkeeper played with the likes of Julio Caesar at Inter Milan, Simon Mignolet and Craig Gordon at Sunderland.

“For me I think Olele is the all-time keeper, for me Ghana and the world. I will pick Olele as my best goalkeeper”, Sulley Muntari told Richmond K. Entsie in an interview.

The midfielder added, “It is always by the Grace of God that one succeeds in life but your teammates are also very key.

"You can be lucky to get really good teammates and I was lucky to have them. Michael Essien, Stephen Appiah, Laryea Kingston, Eric Addo, and when I was growing up Derrick Boateng, Razak Ibrahim, Razak Benpong, they were just different kind of players”.

Sulley Muntari further described Junior Agogo, Asamoah Gyan, and Kwadwo Asamoah as exceptional players.
