That is a real blast from the past there boy.

I watching that and saying that McComie looking like a small man and then I realize that Boney making the entire back row lok like midgets.

[RGarcia]

YEAH I KNOW THAT bONEY IS PLAYING IN THE INDOOR LEAGUE IN THE US FOR TEH PHILLY KIX.

[OutsideMan]

The best players on that team besides Yorke were Anthony Sherwood & Glenn Benjamin. 

Anthony Sherwood (Presentation College, San Fernando), a player whose skill and insight matched Latapy, broke his leg upon scoring a goal on a malicious "red-card" foul against St. Kitts/Nevis (or St. Vincent & the Grenadines) in 1989, and was never the same player since then.  The ejected player, viciously tackled Sherwood from behind, slamming him into the goalpost.  In attendance in that game, was a representative from an EPL team, intent on signing the prospect.  Apart from Dwight Yorke, Anthony Sherwood was the only other "youth" player that was a member of the "Strike Squad" team of 1989. 

Glenn Benjamin (St. Benedicts), played for the Univ of Alabama (Mobile), and made some appearances for the senior T&T team in the early 1990s.  He also played A-League ball (New Orleans Gamblers etc) in the US.  He’s currently coaching in the US, and apparently is again being looked at by scouts for A-League teams.

Boss Papa skill level was top up.  Was with him at Docs Kewalas in 1999.   He disposition could be interpreted wrongly by a forgeign coach though; as someone not being serious.  I bounced him up in Brooklyn a few years ago.  Haven't seen him since.

I eh quite understand dah one.  If a foreign coach might wrongly interpret his disposition, by definition that means a local coach would correctly interpret it.  In which case, seeing that we had numerous local coaches for the T&T national team, and given Papa's relatively miniscule appearances for T&T's senior team, it must be that...

1 - He really wasn't very good and/or serious

2 - The local coaches weren't really local but foreign in disguise

3 - His disposition or lack thereof had absolutely nothing to do with his footballing ability.

[Arimaman]

Papa living in Houston, TX.

Trotty lives in Seattle, WA after the New Orleans debacle.

Nigel Davidson lives in New Orleans

Granville "Kaye" Millington was living in England, I do believe he lives in trini today.

As for  the others I really don't know.

I would like to know where Roger Henry, Dale Boucher and Hayden James are.  Rpger Henry was a very intelligent defender, especially when he played for St. Augustine.
