First professional team to visit TT or from TT?

If it's the latter, I would say ASL, Aviation Services Ltd. owned by Arthur Suite in the 1980s.

[Flex]

First pro team from T&T.

I want to say the TT Regiment but they fall in the category of a state instution sports club. But I will say Pro-Pioneers. Under the table pro teams I will say Paramount and Singing Guns of the Eddie Hart league.

Pro Pioneers - in the 70's

Euadne Gordon a Lawyer who sponsored the team.

Kenrick "Foots" Belcon took over from Gordon.

Pro-Pioneers used to go up the islands and play exhibition games and some teams used to reciprocate.  They had to play a team from Haiti(I stand to be corrected) at the then Lever Bros. ground which is now the centre of disexcellence. As the 2 teams took to the field, Jack came out and read the riot act. He said if the game was played all the players would be banned for life from international football. Euadne had to refund all the money back to the spectators which was quite a bit. Better than what the pro-league can ever have. She left in tears. That is the saga of the minister of transport. That is why quite a few people have so much venom for that bloodsucker. Sorry if some are offended.

This is some of the history I'm trying to piece together. There was a 'Tapia' movement in the 70's that had a newsletterthat Keith Smith, Ruthven Baptiste and Earl Best used to write sports related stuff for. They were always fighting for professional football, and railing against Eric James for the most part. JW didn't get mentioned in there. I think the articles I have go up to 1976.
