The stopper you are referring to is Mervyn Wright, marlon morris was a midfielder for pres from 88-90.

Benedict's also had a very crafty midfielder in the early 90s that use to hit men drag and send them straight to the chiropractor. Can't remember his name though.

talking bout edson landeau? used to wear a knee band.

There was also a Carrington (cyah remember his first name..maybe "Kirk") who played for CIC in the midfield...de man make the passing game look sooo easy, he reminded me a lil of Rijkard.

My two cents

He went to QRC first, same year as me and transfer to Saints in 3rd form...

he had an amazing ability, it was indeed a pleasure to play with him...

last I hear he was working for Sissons...

but yeah he is a baller...

Gregory Seale (same scene, QRC then Saints...)

Pragg went to school with my brother, he was in our house a couple of times... really pleasant fella, yeah, I would agree... I would have been young, but as a footballer, you know other good players when you see them...

Pragg was a rare and unique one...

my list: colin rocke, clauzel, chet (if yuh from de east yuh know what ah talking about), miguel mitchell, kona hislop, leacock (goal keeper for QRC).

Must give a special mention tuh some ballers ah have mad respect for....one of de best Indian ballers i played with was Alvin Beharry. played with him at Joe Public...nice striker...deadly finisher. Also marlon minguel. he captained the u-20 under look loy. bertille mash him up because of the dreadlocks thing and he never see another national team since! colin roberts for me is one of de best right sided midfielders to pass through trinidad. his technique was unquestionable. never seen a player at youth level who could have CONSISTANTLY cross that ball and put it on man head like that. brendon moze....what a touch! kevin moze...what vision!! Kofi boxhill and Adrian Thomas, both goalkeepers...mad talent!!

shaun garcia should have played much more for the senior team as well!!!

In an interview with Flex, this is what Coops had to say about Rocke:

Cooper was also a trainer for a national under 16 team which was packed with talent such as Russell Latapy, Clint Marcelle, Colin Rocke, Ansley Weeks and Ross Russell and played some role in developing these players. He mentioned that he was and still is shocked that Colin Rocke was never called up by Trinidad and Tobago senior team and that the midfielder was a more complete player than Latapy and Marcelle. Coops said “You could have put him anywhere on the field and when it came to dribbling he had the tools as well.” Coops further added that Rocke, Marcelle and Latapy use to terrorize defences and they where the three top midfielders in the country at that time.
