Shaka Hislop signs up with ESPN.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).[/size]
Former National team goalkeeper Shaka Hislop has joined the broadcast teams of ESPN Soccernet Press Pass and SportsCenter program strands.
ESPN today announced the deal officially which will see the former outstanding Premiership goalie providing expert comment and analysis to both programs on a regular basis. In total, Hislop played almost 400 games in his career, the vast majority in the Premier League.
He played for West Ham in two separate spells and also played under Manager Harry Redknapp twice. He retired from football, aged 38, in August last year, after spending a season with Dallas FC in the MLS.
Hislop was one of a only a few players who, because of his dual nationality, played for England before going on to represent and captain his native Trinidad and Tobago, including at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. During the tournament he aided England’s progress through the group stages by keeping a brilliant clean sheet against their major group rivals Sweden.
“I am excited to be joining ESPN, the undisputed leader in sports broadcasting. Given my career at club and international level I think it is a great move for me and a fantastic opportunity and I am looking forward to it. After 15 years in the game as a player you are sometimes tempted to think you have seen it all. I think there are a lot of things I can bring to the viewers with my playing experience and I look forward to sharing that with others.”
A release from ESPN stated that Hislop’s commentary will appear on Africa, Middle East, the Caribbean and the Pacific Rim versions of SportsCenter and Press Pass. They will also be available in the UK on ESPNsoccernet.com. Both programs are produced in ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut, where the latest in digital technology and new media distribution occurs.
Hislop was previously likely to take up an offer from a Trinidad University but negotiations there stalled last year and Hislop was lured over by the network giants.
"It really wasn't too hard a decision to make eventually," Hislop told TTFF Media. "It is something I've always thought about and it gives me the chance to stay close to the game. With the playing side coming to an end I always knew I would have to head over into something else whether it be in the coaching or management aspect or in this case in the promotional side of the sport and I'm really looking forward to it," he added.

Chat with Shaka Hislop.On Friday there's the chance for you to join ESPN's newest pundit, Shaka Hislop, for a live WebChat. Shaka this week joined the ESPNsoccernet Press Pass team alongside Derek Rae, Tommy Smyth and Janusz Michallik. A hugely experienced goalkeeper who spent more than 10 years in the Premier League, Shaka was first spotted when playing for Howard University in the United States before moving to England with Reading. Impressive performances for the Royals - he was twice voted Player of the Year - led to a move to Newcastle United in 1996. He spent three years at Newcastle before moving to London - where he was born - to West Ham United for the first of two spells. Hislop's performances for the Hammers led to international recognition with Trinidad & Tobago, eventually winning 26 caps and playing at the 2006 World Cup. After leaving West Ham he played for Portsmouth for three years before returning to Upton Park for one more season. He finished his career where it started, in the United States, with MLS side FC Dallas and retired in August 2007. Shaka will be stopping on Friday, January 11 at 4pm GMT (11am ET). Feel free to send your questions now and we'll save them for his arrival.

Dave: why is Jack Warner who is the FIFA VP, CONCACAF and CFU President not recognising the FPATT? Shaka Hislop: (11:28 AM ET ) He is now. He has recently been quoted as saying "TTFF are looking forward to a very productive 2008 working alongside FPATT for the good of the T&T game". A sterling endorsement and a step in the right direction for all of us Trinbagonians. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David(Trinidad and Tobago): Hey shaka just wanted to congratulate you on your new job. I still consider you to be among one of the best goalkeepers to play in the premiership. Right up there with Schmeical Snr and Cech. Keep doing your thing man and i wish you all the best in your new job. Nobody will forget the day that sweden learned where trinidad and tobago is due to your magnificant effort. Shaka Hislop: (11:29 AM ET ) Thanks alot. That certainly was a great day for all of us in red, black and white! And even for a few of those wearing yellow! Hahaha! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Nobie: incrediblee@gmail.com Hey Shaka, like you I was born in England to Trini parents and grew up on the island. We actually just moved from McKinney, where it looks like you still have a place, and now live in DC and have friends at Howard. How has your family handled the constant locale transitions and do you know where you'll be next? Does the pundit position require you to be anywhere in particular? Shaka Hislop: (11:32 AM ET ) It's been very tough on my family having to move every couple of years. I'll have to move to Connecticut in the near future, where I'm hoping to finally put down some roots, finally. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anthony Myers (Monrovia, Liberia): What was it like defying the likes of Ljunberg, Ibrahimovic and Larsson in the 0-0 draw with Sweden? Did you feel that you had something to prove, say TnT is small yet you were their equal by virtue of your common European experience? Shaka Hislop: (11:33 AM ET ) I don't we felt we had anything to prove. We went there to do our country proud, first and foremost. And to enjoy the atmosphere and the experience along the way...which we couldn't have done if we lost every game 6-0. :-) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike (Baltimore): Is Nic Anelka really worth almost $30 million transfer? Shaka Hislop: (11:36 AM ET ) US$30M is not alot of money for a world class striker anymore. That's how much Spurs paid for Darren Bent. Is he better than Anelka? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nigel Myers: Miami, FL: How does this new job affect your role as interim President of FPATT (Football Players Association of Trinidad & Tobago)? Shaka Hislop: (11:38 AM ET ) Time will tell I guess. We do have alot of VERY capable people involved in the organization though, so it certainly is in good hands. ESPN has also been very accommodating with my schedule. |
