Looking Into - 2006 & Beyond.

Flex Picks - A Random.
Starting In Alphabetical Order.

Arnold Dwarika - M/F - At times seems effortlessly glide through opposing defenses and can turn a game around with his precision passes and great vision. Probably one of the fastest players on the T&T team with the ball at his feet. At times inconsistent, especially off the ball, however a great addition to the T&T team, Dwarika the former-Malick and East Fife (Scotland) player has alot of international experience, with this experience he can use it to his advantage, he can also pass it on to the younger players on the T&T team. In 1996 Arnold was at his best, if he can regain his touches from 1996, work on his "off the ball" (tackle opponents), take his game more seriously then he would not only be a good player but probably one of the best, he can dribble with the ball at his feet very well, manage to shine everytime he plays against the Jamaican National team or USA, this player has a lot to offer, he just needs to recongnize it.

Anthony Noreiga - D - Tall, strong defender. Deadly in the air. Always first to the ball. Led his team to the Inter -Col final in 2001 which they won. Made the All Star team in 2001. His performance impressed former T&T coach Rene Simone and had him on the National Under 23 team in 2002. A member of the National under 17 team and T&T pro-team South Starworld Strikers, Anthony also went to El Salvador with the T&T U-17 team. Played with the National Senior team as a student in 2001. Played on scholarship in America with University of Mobile. (Princess Town Senior Comprehensive).

Andre Boucaud - M - One of the foreign born players who came onboard to help T&T qualify for the 2006 world cup finals and beyond, played his first international game against Iraq and impressed T&T coach Bertille St Clair. Andre is one of the hottest prospects to come through the Reading Academy. The gifted midfielder will no doubt be an asset to the T&T team, his friend and former T&T player Ronnie Mauge recommended Boucaud to T&T and since that he never looked back, he plays with confidence and makes simple touches, a hard commited worker in midfield.

Aaron Downing - F - Downing was the deadliest marksman in the T&T 2003 Under-15 Pro-League competition when he scored 35 goals for his club W Connection, he also scored a goal for Connection's senior team in January of 2004. Aaron also impressed during a stint with English First Division club Walsall in September 2003, his pace, skills along with his prolific goal scoring abilities should make him a great striker one day.

Andrei Pacheco - W - Very clinical flank player. Posses a great left foot. Very inspirational to his team. Scored big goals in big games. His season impressed Professor Rene Simoes and earned him a call up for the National Under 23 team. Made the all star team of ' 01'. (Princess Town Senior Comprehensive).

Addison Belfon - D - A former St Benedict's College player, Belfon is a tough tackling defensive player, big and strong, who's stands a good chance of being part of coach Rene Simoes squad for T&T's 2006 World Cup drive, however Belfon needs more discipline and composure on his tackling and passing efforts, with some more international experience and heavy training he should end up a good addition to the T&T team.

Avery John - D/M - Versatile enough to operate from any defensive position or even as a left winger. Born in Vance River South Trinidad, Avery's a versatile defender, a player who plays defense but always finds himself in the front line attacking at his opponent's goal, a solid small player that takes his job seriously, he plays on the left wing or defense for T&T, he can over lap pretty well with good recovery time, he also has tremendous speed, Avery John had tryouts with Paris St Germain, Bastia and Troyes all French clubs infact being a foreigner worked against him the clubs were only allowed one foreigner and they didn't have room for him, he also played for DC United back when DC was just an A-League team, Avery the former Presentation College player should be a great addition to T&T's 2006 World Cup drive.

Anton Pierre - D - Very composed defender, a player who behaves calm under pressure, his passing ability is great, however if he can work on his speed and gain some international experience he should end up a top class player in time to come, another player who will also have to earn his place on the T&T team with W Connection defender David Atiba Charles and US-based defender Nigel Henry right on his trail as replacments.

Bevon Lewis - F - Made his T&T senior team debut against Cuba on the 19th of November 2003. Led his team to the Inter- Col final in 1999. Made the All Star team in 1999. Third to McKnight in goals. Crowds favorite. Defense nightmare. Very, very quick and skillful player. Could also play on the flank. (Princes Town Senior Comprehensive).

Cornell Glen - F - One of the rising stars in T&T football, a versatile player with great speed, has an eye for the goal and posses great dribbling skills, Glen is among the top scorers in the 2002 & 2003 T&T PFL-League. Scored a hat-trick and, an assist against MLS team Chicago Fire during a CONCACAF Club Championship match at the Hasley Crawford Stadium in Trinidad on the 17th of March 2004, Glen's club 'Jabloteh' (at the time) eventually came away 5-2 winners. The former Portuguese striker now plays for the NY MetroStars in the MLS, he's also a regular member of the T&T national senior team, surely a great prospect for the future of T&T football.

Collin Samuel - F - After making his professional debut at age 18, Samuel's career has taken him from T&T top club San Juan Jabloteh to Scottish first division club Falkirk then on to Scotish Premiership club Dundee United. Scored a hat-trick of goals for Trinidad and Tobago on his debut against a Tobago X1, a young and exciting player who impressed the Falkirk Manager during a trial with the Scottish First Division club in 2001 along with former Arima Fire striker Devon Mitchell. If Samuel continues to work hard on developing his skills and finishing he would end up a top class player.

Brent Sancho - D - A hard tackling player, committed and strong, has a powerful kick, started of as a striker for St John's University in New York, after realizing his strength lies at the defense he then switched, a very devoted player to the game, loves his Country, should make the T&T 2006 team if he continues to work and train hard and don't over do his famous sliding tackles.

Brent Rahim - M - O' Rahim, some people call him a local Rivaldo in the making, you can tell this player has talent by just watching him touch the ball on the field, he has a great technical eye for the ball, good fundamentals and distribution, a very committed player, he plays midfield or wing for T&T, a player who can surely change the pace of the game in an instant, he has good dribbling skills, he's fast and loves to shoot from the 35 meters out, Rahim turned down a chance to play for LA Galaxy in the MLS League, he also had a tryout with Liverpool FC in the English premiership league but didn't go, instead staying and trying to help his international team-mates qualify for the 2002 World Cup, definitely a great addition to any T&T team.

Carlos Edwards - W - Edwards a superstar of T&T's 2000 under 20 Olympic team, Edwards ability to cross balls is a big-plus, he can play both defense and wing, could shoot from 30 yards out and have a simple one time touch, he's a bit small in size though, but other than that, he should be one of the players to join team 2006.

Clayton Ince - GK - Ince, has the tools to become one of T&T's great goalkeepers, he can dive and stop shots from outside like the tiger jumping up a tree, he produces a very good throwing ability that caused an assist of a Dwight Yorke goal against Canada in a World Cup 2000 game, however Ince would have to work on his confidence as sometimes to many easy saves gets by him, and also his first touch of the ball, his first touch is not that great, once he can accomplish this he would no doubt be a plus on team 2006.

Conrad Smith - M/F - A smooth playmaker with great vision, started of his international career with 3 goals in 3 consecutive games for the Trinidad and Tobago football team, a fellow who seems to have his head on his shoulder, a young player who have many years ahead, should make a great addition to Team 2006. Very skillful, the most inspiration player on his team in ' 99 '. Very composed individual, lead his team in goal assists that year.

Cyd Gray - D/W - Gray has tremendous pace on the field, a good wing player, he also have a good crossing ability, however he has a bad temper, if he can control his temper and learn to have some discipline while on the field he would definitely be a great addition to the T&T team.

Darin Lewis - F - Darin can score wonderful goals, a young player who should be groomed on the T&T team, both Lewis and Rahim known as the 'Trini Connection' to the UCONN fans had an unforgettable season together at UCONN after helping  their school cop the NCAA championship, Lewis was also top scorer in that tournament, he now plays in the US A-League where he will work very hard on developing his skills to take him higher or break through on the T&T team, Lewis place on the T&T however is not to stable as National under-17 striker Michael Carrington is determined to work his way back into the Trinidad and Tobago team, and because of his age he might have an edge over Lewis who's 27, the former St Benedict's College and Scarborough Secondary Toabgo-born striker (Carrington) who is remembered for being dropped from TnT's Under 17 team for descent against Japan prior to the FIFA Under 17 World Championship, has vowed to settle down and work towards his goals.

Dale Saunders - D/M - At first Saunders was not to impressive, after seeing the player play live, he has taken away most doubts, a very competitive if diminutive midfielder who plays with great enthusiasm, as small as he may be he can handle himself under pressure, he can play both midfield and defense, making good tackles, once he can continue to work hard, gain international experience, speed, crossing ability, and discipline he should make a good team selection.
Saunders will also have to fight for his T&T place with up and coming midfield stars such as Denzil Theobald, Kerwyn Jemmott and Kerry Baptiste might make perfect replacements.

Devon Bristol - D - Devon,  this player has impressive defending skills, saved T&T on a couple of occasions during the Youth Championships here in T&T, he can play a good left defense, surely one for the future.

Devon Mitchell - F - The only thing that stopped Devon from playing in Scotland for 1st division team-Filkirk was the lack of international caps, he spent a couple of weeks in Scotland during the 2001 season and scored goals during a reserved game against a Premiership side making Filkirk win that match and impressing the hell out of the Scottish manager, Mitchell scored 2 goals in a space of 20 mins in the second half as he entered the match as a substitute, both Mitchell and Mayaro star and T&T international Colin Samuel are up and coming star strikers.
Possible replacement strikers, Kevon Carter, Andre Toussaint or Jason Marcano.

Devon Leacock - M - His aim is to become one of the biggest T&T football stars, showed good midfield skills during the Youth Championships 2001, a player with class, he was born in sister isle Tobago, Tobago a place that has always produced top class players, all eyes will be on Devon as he aim to become a top notch player, definitely one for the future.

Daurance Williams - GK -  Made the All Star team of 2000 and was named player of the year. Led his team to the Inter-Col final in 2000. Had 4 shot outs in the Inter-Col campaign only. Member fo the National under 20 team. Tall, agile and possess great reflexes. (Mucurapo Senior - Jabloteh).

Lead his team to the South Inter-Col final and South Zone title in 2001. Scored the winning goal against St Benedict's in 2001 to help his advance to the south finals.

A member of the National Under 17, and 23 teams. (Naparima College).

Gary Glasgow - F/W - Talk about speed, talk about dribbling skills, his name is Gary Glasgow a player who can tear up defenses, however his aggressiveness is also his biggest enemy as he over dribbles at times, he also needs to increase his overall strength so he can be more dominant, if the former Malick player could recongnize his weak spots he would surely become a superstar in no time, one for 2006.

Gorian Highley - F - Highley, a wicked left-footer who has been invited by T&T coach (Stuart Charles) on November 2003 to join the T&T Olympic U-23 team as they prepare for the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece. Charles felt goalscorers are difficult to come by and thought a player of his ability should be encouraged. Only sixteen-years-old when he broke into the national youth scene, Highley is without a doubt one of the most exciting strikers to come along in many years. A member of Arima Senior Comprehensive School and also the T&T 2002 U-17 team, helped Arima to the 2003 intercols final and also the 2003 SSFL Big Five final, was Arima's and the league's top goal scorer. He's a very fast, prolific, talented and also very attacking player, a player of obvious striking potential. Gorian went on a training stint with English First Division club Walsall in October of 2003 and impressed the manager so much that he was invited for a second trial. With some international exposure Highley should someday develop to be a top T&T striker.

Hector Sam - F - This player reminds me of the fast and furious 'Jerron Nixon' they even look alike, Hector Sam top goal scorer for his ex-club Jabloteh, he now plays for Wrexham one of  the top clubs in Wales, Sam was an instant hit at Wrexham AFC after scoring on his debut and 6 goals in 6 games, his weakness though is his finishing, he can dribble and run on defenders with great speed but his finishing touch at goal needs to be worked on, he scored 2 beautiful goals against Netherland Antilles in an Olympic qualifying game both Sam and Errol McFarlane was outstanding with superior strength and speed, they both will have an equal fight to place on the T&T senior team this coming 2006, Errol McFarlane has played in Iceland & Lebanon definitely 2 players to watch out for.

Jerol Forbes - W/F - Played as a striker during the World Championships 2001, after viewing and studying the player, I realized that he may well fit into the wing position better, good speed and crossing ability, also a good hustler of the ball his work rate is very high as a striker, the Naparima College player should make an impact if he keeps up his skills and dicirpline. 

Jace Peters - D/M - Had tryouts with Italian Seria A team Brescia during 2001, the same team that Italian star Roberto Baggio played for at the time, however things didn't go to great for him as he wasn't signed by the club, nevertheless he has to be good enough to be asked for a second trial in the Italian league in the first place. He now plays for Jabloteh in the T&T PFL League, he's young and willing also committed, a player I would watch out for. Named the All Star team player of the year in 1999. Defender that has dribbling skills. Very big and strong player. Very aggressive but wise defender. Led his team to Three titles in 1999. Member of the National Under 20 team......Vise Captain of the team and now captain of SWIF. Scored the winning goal against Malick in the Inter-Col quarterfinals in 2000 and then scored the winner in the Semi Final against Presentation college.

Jan Michael Williams - GK - One of the top young keepers in T&T presently, fearless and quick the W Connection youth player will play a big role in W Connection's bid to return to the top of the T&T Pro-League and maybe one day go on to shine for T&T national senior team. A member of "Team 2001" 2003/2004 U-23 and Senior T&T teams.

Josh Johnson - M - A promsing young and fast winger, Johnson has tremendous pace and can make incredibly accurate passes and almost perfect crosses. Needs to work on his defensive game. A member of the 2000 T&T U-20 team and the 2003/2004 U-23 team.

Kendall Davis - F - Very skillful player. Lead his team in goals. Lead his team to the National Inter-Col final which they won in 1998. Member of the National Under 17 team that went to El Salvador. Made the All star team two years running. The most clinical striking pair of 1998......Andre Toussaint and Kendall Davis. (St Benedicts College - W Connection).

Kahlil Mathura - D/M - The former St Mary's College midfielder Kahlil Mathura has been a regular off the bench for coach Rene Simoes' squad and is intent on getting as much playing time as possible, he has been pinpointed as T&T's best spot kicker and opposing teams will be warned to take guard against him, his aim is to get the opportunity to gain exposure in order to receive a scholarship or professional contract," his wish is to grace the World Cup for his Country T&T, Mathura scored goals against Nacional a club from Paraguay he also scored goals aganist Grenada and Japan during the 2001 Youth Championships build up, only seventeen years old as he has his whole future ahead of him, definitely one to watch out for, Mathura now at Mercer University in the US on a scholarship.

Kevin Graham - GK. - Played for Trinidad and Tobago during the 2001 under 20 Olympic qualifiers, made some important saves, saved T&T from being imbarrassed by their opponents at one time, he definitely has showed some good saving ability, probably would have to fight for his spot on the T&T senior team though, along with Jabloteh's Daurance Williams, Canadian based Richard Goddard, Doc's Khelwalaas Peter Fortune and former Presentation College keeper Marvin Phillip, T&T has always produced top class keepers such as Shaka Hislop, Earl Carter, Kelvin Jack, Michael Maurice, Lincoln Phillips to name a few and only time will tell if Kevin would break through on the international scene, providing he keeps up his training and hard work.

Kevin Jeffrey - F - A natural goal scorer, since joining the Richmond Kickers in the American A-League from local club San Juan Jabloteh, he has attract MLS teams from across the United States, I predict Kevin to end up playing for a European club side soon, he definitely have what it take's, he should definitely be on the T&T team at present so he can gel with the rest of the players, his talent should not go un-notice.

Keyeno Thomas - D - I first saw Thomas in the 1998 Shell Cup now known as the Copa Caribe, he was a bit slow and sluggish at the time, he didn't impress me at all, boy ! was I wrong, he started of playing for Joe Public here in Trinidad, then he had a tryout for the Colorado Rapids, he then impress the Rapids manager so much that they signed him, he spent 2 years with the club, while at Rapids he played against Sporting Lisbon of Portugal in Portugal- February of 2001 the same game that caused a serious wrist injury that ruled him out for a whole season, now he's back and bigger and bader this time,  he has impress me so much that I would say he is so to be one of the T&T top defenders in time to come, Thomas has good pace on the field, his passing ability is good as well, he's big and strong and can hold the ball and get it out of defense safely, my vote for 2006.

Kenwyne Jones - U - A fierce competitor capable of excelling as both a skillfull attacker and a hard-tackling defender, who's also good in the air because of his tall frame. Scored over 6 goals for his Country thus far, scored 11 goals for St Anthony's College in the SSFL for 2000. Kenwyne has been named scorer of most goals in the T&T Seconday School Football League in 2000.....He likes playing in the defensive midfield position because he likes to attack through the center of the field.....His best moment was when his team won the Tobago Heritage Festival Tournament.....He hopes to play in Europe one day and later become a Physiotherapist, Jones was a member of the T&T U-17 team that played in the 2001 Youth Championships which was hosted in T&T and, also a member of the 2002 T&T under 20 team and 2004 T&T U-23 Olympic Team. Jones also had tryouts with English Premiership top clubs such as Manchester United and Middlesborough in Jan-2002. Kenwyne Jones is the Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) “Player of the Year” for 2001 & 2002 respectively. Jones can play any position on the field, converted from a striker to defender by T&T EX-coach Brazilian Rene Simoes who was impress with his size and skills to become a top class defender. He was named team captain of the T&T 2002 U-20 team.

Kevin Nelson - F - Another Tobago born player, he plays for the Ottawa Wizards in the Canadian League and was top scorer for his club and also in the Canadian League 2001, he catches the eyes of other clubs in Canada and America were in time he would eventually move on to bigger and better things, soon to make a international statement, look out 2006.

Marvin Andrews - D - A hard-tackling central defender, a talented, dedicated God loving player, according to top Soca Warriors Online writer 'KND' he's an anchor in the defense he just needs to work with his comfort level with the ball at his feet and his passing accuracy, he's also a bit slow but the best pound for pound defender this Country has seen in past time, posses the ability to score goals from corners and free kicks with his head, One of Trinidad's most aggressive and hard tacklers, his pro days in Scotland has improved his confidence and positional ability.

Michael Lee Celestine - M - A member of T&T's 2000 under 20 Olympic team and 2003/2004 U-23 team, a decent midfield player, a good corner kicker of the ball, on the under 20 team Michael combined good in midfield with players such as Scott Sealy, Nigel Daniel, Josh Johnson, Damien Westfield to name a few,  Michael is no doubt a good player and should make a break through on the T&T senior team sooner or later.

Marlon Rojas - U - Marlon mostly plays as a left back, he's very fast and can score from serious bullet-shots with his powerful shooting, he can also cross the ball well and play as an attacking midfielder in the center or wide left. The very skilful Rojas was a member of the Tampa University that won the NCAA Div-II Championship in 2001 and, also a member of St John's University, both Universities based in the USA, before moving to the US, Rojas played for T&T schools Malick SC and Fatima, definitely one of the future left footed stars for T&T.

Nkosi Blackman - F - Well ! Well, another top striker in the making, will he follow in the foot steps of former T&T star Dwight Yorke and sign with a top class club, only time will tell, Blackman posses the goods to become a World class striker, he has the ability to run and take on 3 and 4 defenders at a time and score goals of solo runs, FIFA named him as one of the best 18 players to participate in the Youth Championships in T&T 2001, another Benedict's product, as Benedict's has always produes top class players such as Warren Archibald, Leroy Spann, Bobby Sookram, Steve David, to name a few, Blackman score 2 hattricks and 15 goals in the SSFL in 2000, he also scored a fine unforgettable solo goal against Croatia in a Championship game, all eyes on Blackman, look out.

Nigel Pierre - F/M - Nigel, a well travel player, had tryouts with English clubs such as, Bristol Rovers, West  Ham United, Gillingham, Hibernian (Scotland) and Gents of Bulgaria, but due to the lack on international caps  and also getting his pre-signed contract registration not being release from Bristol Rovers caused him to look  else where , Pierre loves to hold the ball, he can run with the ball pretty well from midfield straight to the striking position, he has a powerful shot and can head the ball accurately, however he's a bit to slow, other than that Pierre can score goals and may add some depth to the T&T team.

Otis Seaton - M - Jabloteh's 2001 Most Valuable Player, real name Aurtis Whitley, showed some good signs, looks comfortable in the midfield position, he's known for his one on one passes, with some international exposure he should develop as a better player. His ceaseless hard work and his ability to adapt to any situation on the field have won him a place on the T&T senior team.

Ronald Primus - D -  A very aggressive big and strong defender that could use both feet. Led his team to the Inter-Col Semi Finals in 1999. Made the All star team in 1998 and 1999.

Stern John - F - Tall and powerful. At one time everyone involved and every goalkeeper and defender in the MLS League was afraid of the goal scoring machine they call Stern John, the man who brought tears to some teams, ripping up defenders and scoring goals on top of goals for his club at the time, the Colombus Crew, he now plays for Nottingham Forest in the English First Division League, Stern John has showed commitment to any team he plays for, he can carry a whole team on his back, he has also saved T&T against top teams such as Honduras, I remember him scoring 2 goals in a space of 2 minutes-the 89th and 90 minute in Honduras aganist that National team to save T&T from embarrassing themselves by a high score line defeat, he recently scored his first hattrick for Nottingham Forest against Millwall in a League game, Stern has my vote as he would probably end up being our savior for 2006.

Silvio Spann - M - One of the most promising young talents coming out of T&T in recent times, a versitile player who can join the attack or drop back to a defensive role. Probably the best player behind a set piece that ever pass through the colleges league from 1994-1999. Very quick and agile player. Great shooting ability. Son of former T&T star Leroy Spann, signed with Italian Seria A team-Perugia FC once, making him the first Caribbean and T&T player to ever sign with an Italian club, to sign with an Italian club you definitely have to be a top class player because Italy has one of the best Leagues in the World, the former St Benedict's College and Vibe CT 105 W Connection midfielder is currently on a one-year contract with Perugia and is on the 25-man roster. Spann also scored a brilliant goal, his first goal for Perugia from a corner kick during a reserve game, he's definitely one for 2006.

Scott Sealy - F - Considered in the USA while with Wake Forest University as one of the most dangerous attackers in the Atlantic Coast Conference, he's dedicated on the field, strong, fast and very competitive. Sealy made his debut for the T&T senior team against the Dominican Republic on the 20th of June 2004 in a World Cup Qualifying match which T&T won 4-0, Sealy also scored an 86th minute goal on his debut game, he worked hard, showed good first touch and did what he did so well for St Mary's College back then... finished clinically. Needs experience, but after his debut game Sealy should be getting regular calls back to play for T&T.


Stokely Mason - U - Mason almost signed with Stevenage Borough of the English Conference Division in 2000, but work permit problems stoped him from becoming another foreign star, he came through the ranks from Malick, a good servant for TnT over the years. What he lacks for in kicking technique and fundamentals he makes up with in heart and work rate. Does all the little things that don't show up on the stat sheet, he has over 50 caps for TnT , that in itself is impressive.

Teba McKnight - F - The leading goal scorer Nation Wide in 1999. The crowds favorite player. Very inspirational to his team. Scored big goals in big games. Lead his team to the National Big Four Final and also the National Inter-Col final. Scored the winning goal for his team in both Inter-Col final in 1999 and 2000. Very skillful and quick player.

Travis Mulraine - D/M - An up and coming defensive midfield player, previous clubs included, D.C. United and San Jose Earthquakes in the American MLS and W Connection of the T&T pro-league a team with players from Brazil, Colombia, USA and other parts of the Caribbean, he recently went on tour with W Connection to Italy and Germany which is definitely a good and a value-able experience for his development, 2006 looks bright for Travis providing he can become a little more disciplined in his game, both him and a possible replacement in Ian Gray.

Wendell Joseph - M  - A stable central midfielder. Possess a very power shot. Won the hearts of fans nation wide. A member of the national under 20 team of ' 00 '. Kept his team in the Inter-Col, scoring an equalizer in the 89 minute against Malick which Naps went on the win on penalties.

NOTES: 

1. These are just my views, players are subject to change along with everything else.

2. Anthony Rougier, Ansil Elcock, Jerren Nixon, Reynold Carrington, Angus Eve and Shaka Hislop should all be a part of our 2006 World Cup drive on and off the field, the TTFF made a mistake of not having David Nakhid, Jerron Nixon, Leonson Lewis, Clint Marcelle and Colin Rocke around our 2002 World Cup drive to help if not on the field but with experienced knowledge, hopefully they would learn for their mistakes.

TnT Players in a nutshell.

By: KND.
Optional 2006 players.

Shaka Hislop - GK - Born in England, Lived in Trinidad from the  age of 2 years old. Made his name locally playing for St Mary's college. Played for TnT Youth teams. Joined Howard University after graduating from St Mary's and became an immediate star on the Team and in the NCAA. Played indoor in the USA for a while was discovered by an English scout. Has since played for Reading, Newcastle, West Ham United and now for Portsmouth. Strengths: Very talented natural goalkeeping skills. Good fundamentals and distribution. # 1 where ever he has played. Weakness: Due to club commitments has played limited games for TnT so he does not have a relationship with Defenders. kicking distance not too great.

Dennis Lawrence - D - The savior in the defense so far. Went from being a goat to a superstar with one performance against Canada. Height is an obvious advantage for attacking and defending cross balls. Very good with the ball at his feet, reads the game well. Good positional play and has good relationship with other defenders. Not afraid to sacrifice his body for the team. Porterfield's greatest contribution so far.

Shurland David - D - Very good reader of the game. Been consistently on or around the national squad for the last 10 years or so. Immense experience very disciplined player. Lacks speed and athletic ability. Experience and professionalism will go a long way if not on the field then in the dressing room.

Wesley Webb - U - Youth star at St Benedicts, had a pro stint in Portugal used to be a striker now plays as a sweeper for W connection. One to be considered if TnT decides to play with 5 at the back. Reads the game very well and is always composed.

Ansil Elcock - D - TnT perennial Defender, seems like he has been around the team for forever. Plays his pro ball for Columbus Crew in the MLS. Very Professional not one to shy away from the rough tackle. TnT's hatchet man. Will play a key role in the up coming qualification. His ability to be used on the wing midfield as well as central or wing defense makes him very versatile, comfortable on either side of the field.

Reynold Carrington - DM - Strong sensible player, reads the game very well. The everything man for his team W-Connection. Comfortable in a defensive midfield role as he plays for TnT or a more attacking creative role as he does for his club. Good technique and shooting ability. As his confidence grows he can become a key member for the Soca Warriors. Needs to be 1 step quicker at times, he was also voted, Footballer of the year for his Club and Country.

Anthony Rougier - U - The ultimate gentleman puts the team before any personal glory. Comfortable in any position except goalkeeper. His availability and fitness will be absolutely necessary to the TnT squad. Physically strong and skillful. Needs to play to his full potential and extend himself and stop trying to not step on anyone toes. Possible the most professional player to ever play for TnT.

Angus Eve - U - Talented and dedicated. Always been involved in the national team at some level or another. Comfortable at midfield or striker and always seems to find the back of the net. Can run at defenders with lightening quickness unstoppable once he gets going. Needs to be more professional on and off the field. The fact that Joe Public treats him like a king is also not helping his career. Nevertheless a key player for TnT.

Evans Wise - W/F - The best left footed midfielder on TnT team. Could dribble for days and days. Ever since his St Anthony's days. A product of Belle Vue Trinidad. Played all over the world including USA, Germany, Switzerland. Lacking a little something extra to turn his good approach play into goals and assist. If he solves this puzzle he would be unstoppable.

Jerron Nixon - W/F -  TnT's best out and out striker, Quick and deadly. Lethal left foot has been playing pro ball for the last 10 years or so in Switzerland. Dribbles past defenders as though they are not even there. If he can lose 15 pounds and get back his max speed he will start every game.
