description: "Richard Kingson is a Ghanaian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He currently serves as a goalkeeper coach for the Ghana national football team. He is also known by his Turkish name Faruk Gürsoy and sometimes by the surname Kingston, which is the surname he used in his UEFA registration and also the surname of his brother Laryea Kingston. The different spelling of the surnames is due to \"irregularity on his identity documents\". Even in his native Ghana, he was quoted as \"the man who got the 't' off his surname\"."
