Yeah, allas (Alibey) throw plenty goal fuh trini and Barataria Ball Players, but he was a good baller, jus had occasional poor finishing skill
Was excellent on de wing, burst of speed at a split second, and would cause havoc for defenses b/c of his ability to run and evade defenders.
Jus to add some balance nah fellas, not withstandin de notorious misses from de man upfront....
I left TT in 1985 and Alibey I believe made his debut in late 82 vs. the Italian Olympic team....He was unbelievable beatsing man left, right and centre.
He continuously stood out in a side that included the likes of Nevick Denoon, L. Spann and Ron La Forest.
He played on the left and was really a creator...he ddn't have a rep. as a throw away artist. Back then when he was on the field, the opposition was experiencing real beans. I remember Tot. Hotspur...simply afraid to tackle the man ...and this was a side with Crooks, Hoddle, Archibald, Brazil, Ardrilles etc.
However, in 1989 I heard ppl crticizing MA, so I figure in the later years he had lost a step or two. However, in the games I saw him play for Bartaria Ball Players, ASL and TT he was boss.
Peace,
