Former Enyimba International forward Joetex Frimpong has expressed his disappointment missing the squad of the Black Stars of Ghana to the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
Frimpong was not included despite featuring in the qualifiers, helping the four-time African champions secure qualification for their first-ever World Cup.
“Even people who were deceased believed I would go to the World Cup. I performed consistently throughout the qualifiers. The disappointment was unimaginable, and even now, I still carry that disappointment”, he told Ghana TV Sports
The former Enyimba attacker revealed that the omission from the World Cup squad initially led him to consider retiring from international football.
Frimpong scored two goals in 11 appearances for Ghana between 2005 and 2009.
Frimpong won the African Champions League twice with Enyimba, two Nigerian titles and Nigerian Cup as well in an impressive career.
