Well someone done mention Pele...some oter big names include:

John Barnes came down with Watford back in 87 (i think) and they played against a Sao Paulo team that had Muller and Silas. Careca was advertized as coming but ended up signing with napoli just before the end of the season...I know real peple went to see Careca and get disappointed. But Careca did finally show up a couple years ago with Brazil Masters. There were a few big names in that team.

Elber was part of a Brazilian Under 20 team that played against Yorke and co. in a pre youth WC warmup

Soccer sevens had some big UK names from the past. I cyah list dem all

Wim play on two Oranje WC teams, so you know he hadda be a boss.

We had plenty more...but I done dey  :D

He may not have had the biggest name, but the best and most exciting performance I have seen by a foreign player in Trinidad was the Brazilian, Aloi (not sure of spelling), in 1971.

       Trevor you remember that boy!!! that man put Armin David on his bottom every time he come down that right wing and you know Arnim was a broozer,they even tried Winston Phillips it was a waste of time,he was really a joy to watch.It also had a Brazillian school boy team that came around that time they played against Gally,Deleon,Archie etc etc

Coop's,

I know you would remember him.  You hit it on the head.  My most vivid memory of that tour was how Aloi destroyed Anim David and Winston Phillips (Bee).  Man, he had Anim David spinning like a bobtail dog.  Yes, he came down the right side - near the pavilion end.  I know Bee is your boy, but he was a bruiser too.  The team was Nautico.  Edu was on the Brazilian schoolboy team that came to Trinidad in the 1960s.  I believe they even beat the national team.

then allyuh would remember when Americas came with ZeMaria played in Arima.
Chelsea came with a star studded team that had Charlie Cook, Peter Osgood, Peter Bonnetti and David Webb. Put 6 in we tail in Skinner Park. Charlie Cook was the rooliepolie king back then.

Ah have to include Pat Jennings ...because man does leave out keepers, even defenders, when it comes to picking best players .... who came with Arsenal and played against ASL in de oval.
Another reason is to give meh pardner Ron la Forest an opportunity to get some more pips, as he scored a hattrick in that game. try as i might, I have not been able to find another player to do this is to jennings anywhere in the world.l

Jai John, I believe you are right.  His name was “Eloi.”  Yes, the trainer with the bucket was the greatest.  The crowd could not wait to see him run onto the field to assist an injured player.  He was quick and held the bucket with a straight arm – not even spilling a drop of water. 

Observer, I remember Chelsea coming too in 1971.  Southhampton came with them on that tour.  Southhampton played the national under-19 team a practice game at King George V Park.  They dropped about six on us in a 60-minute game.   Needless to say, I collected the six goals.

Just as an aside .... How about  the Howard university Bison's team that played the national team at the QP oval ? The african..I believe he was Nigerian, was running rings around the most feared defender of the day , Charlie Spooner. Well the spoon decided to end the humiliation ...a straight right did it  :rotfl:  ...he didn't even wait for the referee ...not in front all dese people man !!!
Alvin henderson scored the loan goal, a penalty and Howard came away with the victory vs T&T natinal team.

Jai John,

You are good.  Who are you?  You are on target.   After Eloi, that was one of the greatest performaces I saw.  The Howard left winger was Mori Diane.  Howard drew against the national team in the Oval.  Mori really starred against the Defense Forces at King George V Park.  It was a combined team of all the defense forces.  It was a night game.  That was the game when Charlie Spooner swung the right hand at him.  I am sure Coop’s played in that game.

One of the foreign players who made de biggest impressions on me was a young fella from de same Corinthians team dat did come down wit Socrates.  De fella was amazin.  Was tipped to be a nex Brazil Superstar but den like we eh hear nutting bout he too much again.

I cyah remember he name but he twas tall, black and deadly.  Midfielder.

Pele was poision when he play in de oval....ah cyah remember who dey put to mark him but Pele end up goin all by de T&T corner flag when play was in de Santos goal area and de man who was markin him went wit him too.  Funny no tail.  Until de tear gas anyway.

Oddahs who make a impression dat I could remember was

Charlie Cook
Ian Wright

Babu Mani (a Indian footballer....he wasn't good but he was a novelty and had some skillz)
Hagler from Jamaica...dat man used to kick dong wind.  De epitome of de wile jamaican footballer

This was a nice thread that I missed out on.

Going by Sams original post, I am going to assume he meant, ppl to have actually played in TT and perhaps in their prime, not in some Masters tournament.

Well the Flamenco the World Club Champions in 1982, just after the WC, with Zico, Junior and Eder.

A few months later, Socrates with Corinthians.

Hotspurs with Hoddle

Arsenal with Jennings. Never see anybody make Pat Jennings looks so dotish. But he starred big time in the 82 WC a few months later.

Those were my last few years in TT and I got spoilt watching big names come to TT on a regular basis.

It probably would have continued if JW didn't fack up Arthur Suite.....STEUUPPS.

Peace,
VB
