Asante Kotoko fans treated me unfairly - Elmina Sharks midfielder Richard Mpong
Elmina Sharks midfielder Richard Mpong has disclosed how he was unfairly treated by the supporters of Asante Kotoko during his playing days at the club.
Mpong played a key role at Kotoko, helping them win two league titles and two FA Cup trophies during his three-year stint at the club.
Despite his immense contribution to the club, he felt disappointed with how he was treated, however, he says he has no regrets playing for them.
"I loved Kotoko. I had passion for the club. My entire family is a Kotoko family so I really wanted to play for them even while I was playing for Medeama," he told footballmadeinghana.com
"… they gave me a bad name, tarnished my image before I left the club and never gave me the opportunity to explain myself. I joined the club with blistering happiness but left with pain and sorrow."
"I was branded the leader of a clique that wanted David Duncan to fail to the extent that a notorious fan of the club who was noted for his close relationship with leadership, Seidu MBA was on radio claiming I took losing bonus from Dr. KK Sarpong to share for the players who were hired during Didi Dramani’s era when Kotoko lost 2-1 to MC El Eulma in the CAF Champions League round of 16.
He added, "I was shocked to the marrow when Opoku Nti spoke to all the players who were alleged to be members of that clique but never spoke to me."
"I felt disrespected and disappointed that the club I helped to win two league titles and two FA Cup trophies could treat me like that."
He has previously played for Medeama SC, Asante Kotoko, and Aduana Stars.
