This might seem a bit negetive but I was talking to a friend (He plays Pro Ball over here)
and we were talking about players that never reached their potential....
One that came to mind was
Daniel Montenegro He played for Argentina Under 20's he was a bad baller Attacking Midfielder he's made a Decent Career For himself but I always thought he could do alot better.
Darius Vassell is another.
I might get slewed for this one Aimar is still young (hes doing ok at the mo) but I wonder WTF happend at Valencia because is was obviously better than showed.
I know everyone doesn't & can't be the best but I just thought this would be an Interesting topic.
There was lots we mentioned but I haven't got all day!
-
interesting post, this list could go on...sadly
Kleberson
Diego Tristan
Dwarika
Dwayne DeRosario if he doh get out of the MLS
more to come later

Don't think he need to.... Yorke is undoubtedly the most SUCCESSFUL baller from Trinidad... when you look at the pure talent of Russel Latapy, jahyouth clearly believes this should have translated into even greater success and world acclaim than say Yorke!

Dwarika... I really thought he had more in him. After seeing him in Canada a few years back.. he easily stood among the 22 that were on the field.
Who knows, maybe he did reach his potential ... one can only be as good as one wants to be.
I also thought that Kanu and Kluivert was going to be abit bigger!
-
from T&T Nkosi Blackman, Ian "de dread dribbler" Clauzel, Nixon, Colvin Hutchinson, Sean Boney....infact dat whole under 20 squad dat make it to de u-20 wc.
international players would be... Veron, Owen, Rai(brother of Socrates),Aimar,Kluivert...it havetomuch.....

Brent Rahim
Clint Marcelle
Leslie Fitzpatrick.
Angue Eve.
Garvin Lewis.
Gascoigne he was ah waste of talent. He decided that he wanted to be a tempermental artist and he did. f**k him self up.
Joe Cole people still waiting for him to be the next Gazza.
I idolized Ivan Sampson, Wesley Webb and Marvin Faustin but since they only toyed abroad i will add them too.
Man does talk about C. Ronaldo, and R. Carlos bullet free kicks. I remember back in de day for Rangers, when Faustin size up for a free kick, no body move. Man afro and high top fade use to be leaning from the direction the ball flew in. So I feel he never reach that full potential.
All de players in de Strike Squad, you all gave us hope but....

I just surprised this specific subject passed as many as 2 posts without someone mentioning Hardest.
Hardest is quickly becoming an expression for failure...

:beermug:

I cannot agree with some of the big names mentioned because most of them had successful careers.
Some names do come to mind is Denilson from Brazil. Palermo of Argentina, some may say Anelka and all of Holland is waiting on Van da Vart.

ah have to add me 2 piece here too
that fella was overhyped big time.
Tenorsaw..what ever happen to Blacksmith Gomez..wasnt he in your time also?
i think he was one of the best to ever come out of South zone.

I'd have to go with shawn garcia , brent rahim , marcelle , jamerson , sherwood , ivan sampson , kona hislop....faustin didnt really get an opportunity ya know but he talented i guess dwarika...on an international level I'd go with ariel ortega , anelka , cisse , god this is an endless list to be real

Aye Cowen I played with Gasparillo Youths and Gasparillo Ambassadors. Who you was playing for back then Union Hall or Marabella Youths or PaP.....?
-
Ah pick Latapy, but ah not sure if it should be potential or not geeting de right break. Cuz de skill and touch de breddah have, he should have played for ah club big as Man U, or better. No disrespect tuh Yorkie, but Latapy should have achieved the things he did and more. I would also definitely add Dwarika. Internationally, ah would go wid Ortega from Argentina, dat man was being called de next Maradona, by a lot of people. Some how or de other, he reach ah brick wall and stop right dey. Bless.

MICHAEL FORGINE - RIP

We cyar leave out ....
Colvin Hutchinson... this man made the trip to Aston Villa in 1988 with Dwight Yorke on the opportunity of a lifetime....
while Dwight lived the English dream..this guy came back home and practically faded into society.. I cannot even remember this guy in a warriors uniform there after... and if he did ..it probably was not for major competition...
Latapy never played in the EPL, La Liga or Serie A.. so I guess you can say he never reached his potential..

nicholas benjamin, garvin leacock, jason suite, zane obrien
Due respect tuh yuh choices, but dem players yuh pick dey, dey were alright but ah doh think there were many people expecting big things from dem. So therefore, ah wouldn't say dat dey didn't reached there potential. Bless.

Latapy,Rahim,Dwarika,Requelme and kluivert
Kluivert??? :o
Are you serious?
-
Latapy never played in the EPL, La Liga or Serie A.. so I guess you can say he never reached his potential..
So what he played in the CL with porto and uefa with boaviista he was out there clubs dont stick when it come to buying good/big players
yuh could add jerol forbes to that list ah though he would ah be in the england now
-
Joel Gibbons, dat man was good.
The Koo brothers (Roger and Ronald)

there was a sherwin gomez? that used to go mucurapo in the late 90's i always though he would ah be big

MICHAEL FORGINE - RIP
You must be a Presman
-
MICHAEL FORGINE - RIP
Fuh real.... Rip Brother.
-
Shawn Boney could be on that list too. Peter Prosper....Bobby Zamora and Jlloyd Samuel, yes I add them even though they play EPL and played England youth. Which one ah them likely to make the World Cup. (since yuh cayr put all yuh eggs in one basket)
Dwarika and Nixon should not be on this list. They reach they full potential. They like to play dem a$$ games and they played it in the highest standards. Now in football they never reached their full potential.
Colin Rocke, Irasto Knights could be in that list too. Kevin Jeffery following also.
I know man ah go agree with me on this but Kerry Jameson because with all the tallent he had, he never made it out ah here.
Plus Ato Boldon and this is purely football because he was a deadly and fast winger I heard.
-
So what he played in the CL with porto and uefa with boaviista he was out there clubs dont stick when it come to buying good/big players
Can you give a list of seasons, opponents played and minutes etc?

Dat part highlighted, ah want tuh make sure ah understand what yuh saying dey. Are you saying Latapy didn't play at a bigger club, cuz he is not ah good or big player? Porto is big, but there is much bigger clubs dan Porto, like Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, the 2 Milans, Juventus, just tuh name ah few. With the talent Latapy have, in my opinion these ah de type of clubs he should have played for, so he didn't reached his true potential. Bless.

UP TO A YEAR AGO BLACK SMITH WAS PLAYING MINOR LEAGUE IN MORUGA, HE HAD PUT ON A BIT OF WEIGHT .APART FROM DWARIKA .SHERWOOD AND ROCKE ,DARYLL EDWARDS FROM PRESANTATION COLLEGE WINNING TEAM WAS APLAYER OF GREAT POTENTIAL THAT FEW PLAYERS OUTSIDE OF SOUTH KNOW ABOUT .I AGREE LATAPY STILL UNDERACHIEVED.
-
i dis agree with several on the list of touches ,just to let you know reynold caqrrington was known by national coaches for years playing school ball wth siparia and after with defence force he was always a wll known footballer,you how ever are right his national appearances came when he was past his best.

Colin Rocke,
Dwarika
Terry "jughead" St. Louis
Always expected Faustin and Hutson to play abroad.
Doh blame Ngosi, he break a leg and was never the same after dat.
VB
Yeah I have to agree with youColin Rocke his bro Jason and Kona Hislop, were players who never made it internationally either by choice or injury. Hey how about this guy Legandre I think his first name was Andre or Louis, from San Juan Senior Comp

darrel edwards was a very good player but i don't think he even get call for ah national youth team...i wonder how many good players like him don't get opportunities.

reading these names is real interesting, as plenty of them live here or lived here in London

I think the name was Andre LeGendre...he used to play for St. Augustine. Big powerful striker, but I wouldn't put him on the same list with some of the other names men calling here.
But yuh know plenty men will differ because at some point in time we would have liked particular player because he play for we school or club or whatever reason. Maybe the men live up to their own potential, who knows ? If we talking about who play should have played for the elite clubs around the world or gotten international fame and glory, well that is another story by itself.
-
boy some men calling some names dey sah black smith was a big big baller louis legendre darryl edwards them fellas was some real talented ones ...big big ballers
-
sean le gendre{foward} and louis legendre{defender} were two different players it was louis who was the talented player he played along side kona hislop and the bennet brothers for a national youth team lois was a sweeper capable of playing midfield a very talented player in deed.i believe we are talking of very talented players not players who ran through the college league of which i can name hundreds i am looking at very talented individuals who could have been dwight yorkes if times or circumstances were better .another name from san juan is the former u19 skipper of latapy et al kurt barrington a defender par excellence.people who went to school in the north ,east or south tend to have biases toward there zones ,i went to fatima in the north but was amazed by daryll edwards and his ability to cross and run the line any one can give updates on the the careesr of these players even if it was just in a us college i would really like to know what became of rocke ,barrington ,louis legendre ,daryll edwards ,brent bennet ,ian cluazel ,emmerson dubisson,sherwood.even guys like garth pollanais from the original green machine i would love to find out about these guys careers.

Russell Latapy.
And, no, I don't mean it as a joke either.

Don't think he need to.... Yorke is undoubtedly the most SUCCESSFUL baller from Trinidad... when you look at the pure talent of Russel Latapy, jahyouth clearly believes this should have translated into even greater success and world acclaim than say Yorke!
Exactly.
When you look at the raw talent that Latas had as a youth, and what he has done in comparison to less talented individuals both on the local (Yorke) and world scene, without a doubt Latapy has failed to reach his true potential.

Horse, Gatt had a first touch like ah elephant. But he was big, strong and fast so those mistakes were easy to rectify in the little boy Colleges League environment.
Now if you want to look at push and run men that coulda go somewhere, call a name like Jason Rocke. He was a beast. Decent first touch, and could butt like anything.

This fella who in jail for selling drugs Adrian Narine...Narine was lil mad but he was Joe Public big player for a lil while.
The one who get discovered too late...Reynold Carrington
Evans Wise
St Anthonys and Fatima men go remember this indian youth...Gary Gibbings....he had potential. Whatever happen to he?
Touch dais a big big list yuh have dey...but some would differ on a few points...
Marvin Raeburn.....bess left footed schoolboy in Colleges league with speed ... yuh might want to consider Nixon for that position
The Moze brothers (played with all of them at Saints..) Kevin aka Slapper ..was the best one ..Darragh was probaby one of the best def. mids at CIC..
The memory of Miguel Mitchel ...VERY GOOD PLAYER ... and Wise rippin up the North zone... brings back memories of when Miguel beat CIC whole midfield and defense from right to left side in a intercol match in the stadium (had mih boy Ian Briggs kneeling down along the way) ...and den bark it onto the cross bar!!! and Wise at CIC grounds wit jus drag after drag!! dem 2 fellas put St. Anthony's on the college league map!! oh gawshhh...memories dred!
Anybody remember when playing in the Stadium as a schoolboy was de shh!? now everybody running out there regular regular..the stadium come jes like another field now! ...my how tings change!
Sterling Smith ..one ofthe best in his day ..Bertille real check for dis man at the U16 level back in de day...I en know why he en make it...must have been when he went to QRC from Belmont..
Shawn Garcia is a next man that was supposed to blow up...one of the most solid defenders in college history
Sherwood was definitely one of TT best ..the injury done him..even though he is a legend at VCU...
And I will add myself (CIC 88-90) to the list of men that en reach dey potential ..I en giving names because I en able wit some ah de killas on dis site!! ;D
-
REAL name pass here boy
Ay touches..dem moze brothers is de redhead freckleface fellahs yuh talkin about??...cyah remember de older one name but he had a stocky build ...he was real good
One ting dat ketch mih doh..is allyuh sayin Kona Hislop played pro ball in england??
I thought he had serious knee injures since CIC ..and finish ball from back then
-
The memory of Miguel Mitchel ...
Hey did Miguel pass away or something?? Just asking

JahY,
wit all due respect I play wit both ah dem men Gatt and Rocke at Saints..even play wit Gatt up here in College...
The man did the best with what he had ...and he workd hard at it...so did Rocke..and college league wasnt no lil boy league back den boss...it has real bruisers out dey fella..you know dat....it wasn't like how it now where half de players nashy nashy!
Gatt is a man that was scoring real crucial goals for saints and he developed his game to where he was a perennial all-conference player in west virginia ..so give respek where it is due....
J. Rocke, once he became his own player (and not solely Colin R younger brother) ...he was a beast ..leading the nation in scoring! in the start he was all speed (see Thiery H. in his young days) ...then he,with hard work became a pure striker....
If yuh talking Saints forwards ...Kona Hislop was the best I have seen ...not sure how he stacks up to the men in the earlier days ..but in my time...Kona gets the vote!
Gabre Cummings in another man that did not reach his potential ....size was the main problem ..dribbling and shooting ...young Gally was a dan!
-
The memory of Miguel Mitchel ...
Hey did Miguel pass away or something?? Just asking
Nah nah ..hard luck dey boss...I was not speaking in THAT context ..I should have said "my memory" instead of "the memory"
Hard luck..

Bossman, is Falkirk yuh say yuh know. Since when them is a big team?
Latas had talent to put any Man Utd, Inter Milan or Real Madrid midfielder to shame.
With his talent it shoulda be one of them big big clubs where he is a king now. Not an also ran in a bush league like Falkirk.
-
ah another man who use to make headlines is HAYNES from JOHN D big strong mother and deadly in front of goal. He use to terrorize the North Zone back in the day

Oye, Timothy Haynes went Arima. He was on the Arima team that clash with Sando tech in what was probably one of teh greatest games EVER in the history of the Colleges League.
Haynes was also on the Strike Squad, but didn't make the final cut.

Fatman according tuh de lil football brain ah have, Sean Legendre is also called "Greyie", a short stocky breddah, dat was gifted in scoring goals. He was from Gustine, not San Juan. He use tuh play fuh de police team also, if I'm wrong anybody cud correct meh.Bless.
-
i stand corrected, sean was from gustine sorry and. louis was definitely from san juan he was an exquisite defender. thanks for the correction

I think Kona would have seen his potential come to fruition had he not been plagued by them knee injuries. He was on Trials with Newcastle when the last one hit him. Injuries also sidelined Sean Constantine, and I will add Roger Guiseppi to the original list, as well as Colin Rocke, Andrew Ali, Ross Russel and Sherwin Besson and my favourite Colleges' League player of all time: Ian Clauzel
Nice thread. :beermug:

Oye, Timothy Haynes went Arima. He was on the Arima team that clash with Sando tech in what was probably one of teh greatest games EVER in the history of the Colleges League.
This was the last Intercol Final I saw before leaving home and with the star power on show that night in the National Stadium, I am hard press to think of a better game. I second this opinion. MArvin Faustin put tears in meh eyes with that goal to win the game.
Timmo was pure worries. did not want to come up against him as a defender. Timmo had speed, decent control and a wicked eye for goal.

What about Marvin Gordon? And Justin Latapy......Michel Peters for CIC...Hirandi Elie or Hisham Gomes..What about that crap striker that switch from CIC to QRC...Vladimir Suite...He never really do much and never make a National team.....
But I must agree with a man... when I usesd to watch Intercol back in late 80's and into mid 90's men had size. Now if you 5'8" you is a giant men nashy and short....

Russell Latapy.
And, no, I don't mean it as a joke either.
Rusell Latapy never reached his potential?! u hadda be kiddin me
maybe he was never as successful as he could have been
he is looked up from everyone in falkirk...there is a monument in his name...
he is a basically a king
i could go on forever and ever
but i in de middle of doin work
Bossman, is Falkirk yuh say yuh know. Since when them is a big team?
Latas had talent to put any Man Utd, Inter Milan or Real Madrid midfielder to shame.
With his talent it shoulda be one of them big big clubs where he is a king now. Not an also ran in a bush league like Falkirk.
LIKE YOU ENT REALISE HIS AGE
he not fit enuff to make those big sides nemore
so wam to Porto and Rangers ?? eh
Porto was a big side in his days.......and as far as i can remember..Latas scored 30+ goals for them...incl champions leage goals
on closing i will give u a list of all Latapys Achievements as a football.....den u deciede whether he never reached his potential or not

Boss I think yuh might be missing what some men trying to say about Latas, although your post might be truly in line with the topic. But when it is all said and done and yuh compare Yorke and Latas on potential and talent and then compare their achievements (yes in a team sport), yuh have to admit that the World has missed out on one of the truly gifted players in Latas. Hence the argument that he never reached his true potential. Latas achievements as listed above pale in comparison to Yorke (Just indicate a Champions League Winner and the story done). Yorke has won every cup in England as a core player. Latas potential is on that type of stage not on running things in the Scottish Premier and First Divisions. Yorke was an EPL star, recognized any where in Europe as being part of the ManU treble winning team. I think unfortunately that Latas will always be compared to Yorke in terms of achievement and most men on this site will put him on top of Yorke in terms of potential. Rightly or Wrongly that is the facts.

There must be a reason why big club neva buy latas .... but to say he neva reach his full potential is rubbish... why did he end up in scotland of all places in the first division with hibernia ... people here have an inflated view about latapy i come to realize.

1. johnnier montano. a colombian midfielder. anyone remember him from back in the day when foxsports used to show the tournoi u20 tournament in france? was a big prospect. went parma at about 17 and then just dissappear.
2. alex. thought he woulda reached further.
dwn yuh call ah big name in Montaño there..... that man used to mash up in Fifa 2000 back in de day haha ha haha

i went university with a older gentleman who went cic in the late seventies or so. anytime we start to talk football the man used to be raving about ian "dread dribbler" clauzel. the man had to have been something. i wish it had some film or something of him in action.
also, dwn, i agree with u about alex, he is nowhere on the map.
what about the young argentine d'alessandro, he was big with river plate but he isnt mashing up the world like he should.
diego is another youth who isnt big like he should be. in santos he was the man, robinho was kinda in his shadow but now you hardly hearing about him, unless u follow bundesliga.
-
I believe the Haynes some of you want to talk about is Brian Haynes, played in the MLS.
Yes Legrende was boss for St. Aug. around 1981, alongside Garth Pollanais, who simply never lived up to his hype. That's GP ah talking about not Legrende.

i dis agree with several on the list of touches ,just to let you know reynold caqrrington was known by national coaches for years playing school ball wth siparia and after with defence force he was always a wll known footballer,you how ever are right his national appearances came when he was past his best.
I think Reynold 'Hippo Carrington played school ball with Fyzo alongside a guy called Sean 'Laddy' De Souza... who had de wickest fan...Hippo also played for Point Fortin Civic Center, Defence Force as mentioned and then W Connection

He REALLY should of done better.

Men getting tie up with this word potential... Latas never reach his full potential???
Latas may not have played for the biggest clubs but he has definietly played and reached his potential...Allyuh know i am a big Dwarika fan, but he never made full use of the opprtunities that he got. People just calling names of men who look good in college, but how many players do we have plaing in college who never amount to being anything but an average footballer.
Look at Chinapoo, great talent but never played at the highest level...
-
The fact that allyuh posting the names of so many college players illustrates the shittiness of dat league....in fact what that league has become.
Anyway..the three local players that come to mind the most are Nixon and Dwarika and Hardest.
Dem intercol ballers ...steups.
-
Dwayne Demming, Dayne john, Brendan Moze,
Keith Farhina, Barney Sheppard.
sherwood but he had bad luck with injuries
Hutchinson was just bad timing

thanks madmonn

Colin Rocke,
Dwarika
Terry "jughead" St. Louis
Always expected Faustin and Hutson to play abroad.
Doh blame Ngosi, he break a leg and was never the same after dat.

U know how long ah want to reply to this post, but ah just ddn't have time.
Ah drunk now but say what ah go try.
In addition to those I mentioned, how about
Dexter Sandy, a prodigy in From 2 playing intercol football for QRC, he seedm to disappear after his U -19 days.
Garth Pollanais some say the best after Clauzelle, but atim climaxed at the sr. level.
Andrew Ali...the Goalk Keeper from Mucurapo.
Ronnie Simmons, should have seen a lot more at sr.level, but execept for Alvin Corneal, Coaches seemed to have bias against this man.
Sean Ramdoo, but outside of the North most peopl have forgotten about him.
Dexter Skeene and Anton Corneal, probably paid the price for coming from Prestige schools, but were training with the Strike Squad before they buss a cuss in Gally ass in a training camp in P. Rico.
Latas spent the last few years of his greatness with HIBS and then getting spite from a Coach at Rangers.
At 37 he was ripping WC defenses, he was showing more poise and flair than Haggi or Stoichkov at 34.
Latas went from Porto, to Boavista to Hibs on his own steam. Nobody asked him to go.
I believe that what screwed him up, what that he had hoped to go to Villa, and Villa said yes to bribe Yrke to stay, but Yrke overs, went to MU and Latas get blank from Villa.
But the man spend like the next four years at Hibs. Perhaps he can explain that.
Latas' name should be on par with DY on the international stage. But outside the Caribbean and Portugal, who really knows this.
However, during his time at Porto, he did turn down an offer from Sampdoria.
Nixon, should have done better.
Angus Eve should have seen more pro ball abroad.

Dem is some serious name yuh call dey, sah. Most people, of course, wouldn't have a clue about dexter but he was a man-boy among boys at QRC.
I would go as far as to liken him to wayne rooney as far as his physical prescence and attacking style on the ball is concerned, except that Dexter was alot more skillful and much better behaved. :devil:

Kevin Barrow from P'ville, that man had the wickedess drag eva. Pre-beat, the man head used to be turned the opposite direction to where he was running, then whap, a full 180 and the defender skin-out on the ground, makin chile. Thys how yuh does judge a good beat..Defender know exactly what coming, but still cyan do anything to stop the bleeding... Also Blacksmith, Glendon "Petty" Phillips and Mattack-- Three Moruga breddas that all had some tremendous upside ...
-
This topoc gone to de dogs.....CB, the topic was a good one, well intentioned, but unfortunately, but not surprisingly it has gone like Holiday foods, it of course...
People calling all kinda names ah players who sweat it some sh!t, bush league and saying they eh reach they potential. With all de talented players playing in the US colleges every year, how come we don't hear about most of them... Look at a man like Stern, standout player in the MLS, and when he finally left it was not for a premership team. 95% of the names called so far cannot even shine Stern boots. We have plenty players who could dribble man, cap etc. but it does not mean, if they were given the opportunity that they would amount to anything more than average baller.

Hasan Sas from Turkey, plays for Galatasaray.
was amazing for Turkey in the 2002 WC, when they made it to the semis, losing to Brazil 1-0.
When the Spaish and Italians came calling, Galat promptly tabbed him at 25 million US (basically not for sale).
He will spend the rest of his career in Turkey.
You'll find that most Fernerbache and Galatasaray players are very happy to do that. It means for them than even playing for Turkey. But when you are from the area, it's a kinda fanatacism that ppl like you and cah really understand.
