Title: Who is the fastest Trini player ever?
Post by: Marcos on September 16, 2005, 08:53:40 AM
I was looking at our team speed and that led me to wonder about who was the fastest Trini player that I had ever seen.
I remember Nixon in his early days being really fast.
I'd like to hear your opinions

Trini player that played for T&T?  For me that would be Steve David

Other notables (not necessarily played for T&T):

Wendell "Tractor" Belgrave
Josh Johnson
Jerren Nixon (more nippy than fast)
Arthur "Jap" Brown

Observer go come and post bout some obscure south man who did play fuh Lanterns or one a dem village team so.... ;D

That will be hard to do but here are a couple names i can recall Warren Archibald,Steve David,Mickey Rat(Memphis Arima),Crawford (Police),Eddie Jones (BP Palo Seco),Bachack (Army)when i played almost every team had one or two very quick guys on it.

I feel the same way when I see "Jap" Brown name. Can't even think about him as a fast player. maxg, coop's, palos and them are the true elder statesmen.

Horace Lovelace- Was the fastest. Trust me- Nixon a close second. Fatima had a red man called Raeburn and Kelvin Nancoo was wicked on the wing.
I played with Grayson- soso.

Marcelle and Lewis were the two fastest I ever saw.

it had alot of fast players sah but the 4 that stick to me is leonson lewis, clint marcelle, jerron nixon(that leave meh on the wing in a game against him)  and adrian fonrose (I see defenders diving at this man feet with they hands trying to stop him when he used to play for trintoc and no they werent goalies , I nearly dead with laugh).....
Title: Re: Who is the fastest Trini player ever?
Post by: dcs on September 16, 2005, 09:18:14 PM

Going on my memory Leonson was real fast.
But looking at Glenn recent games I say he win....he going from 0-60 in nuttin. Put him on an isolation and he running past men easy.
But leo wasn't easy neither.

And Alibey used to run top speed calling for the ball and real puffing at the end like a sprinter    ;D

Post by: fordy on September 16, 2005, 11:18:51 PM
ah never saw him play but from my understanding jap brown was fast as hell (had to give respect to meh old coach)!!! fonrose, marcelle den nixon..thats my top 3. leonson ah distant 4th.

ah see ah man call ah name colin rocke...that was ah fast MF too!!! but if yuh callin rocke name yuh have to call men like kona hislop...glenn benjamin...raeburn...jeremy shortt...stephan trotman (for de fatima boys)...ah cud also call glasgow...he wasnt de fastest but the ball at he foot yuh ketchin yuh ass to get him!!!
Title: Re: Who is the fastest Trini player ever?
Post by: Preacher on September 17, 2005, 02:23:02 AM
What make Leoson and Nixon look real fast was that they are/were the  best dribblers when the ball in motion.  But Glen in a class by he self..Ah never see anybody leave out man on pace so.  But Glen not even in the same class as Leoson and Nixon when it come to dribblin...

well you can't vote for someone who you don't know..............so that's obvious.

But you make a good point.....the player pool to choose from is very imperfect, because it includes players from different generations, whose qualities are obscure to people who never saw them play....

But this is no important poll ..........so iz no big deal

That's why i said this would be difficult,i'm around a long time many gererations and is one thing T&Twas known for and that is players that were fast,i can call hundreds of them,i myself was not a dribbler but no one got to that ball before me,i had a lot of endurance ,was extremely quick and off course basic skills.

I think this post is more about hearing opinions and educating those who don't know about past players as opposed to trying to come to some definitive conclusion.
I myself am hearing names that I have never heard of before and I welcome that.
Ppl shouldn't be getting mad because some posters don't agree or don't know some of t he players being mentioned.
This is how you learn
