Just to say thanks for the Little Magician. He will forever be remembered by Falkirk fans as a legend. Lets hope he helps you guys to WC 2010.

Thank You Latas

I'm really glad we gave him a good send off with Latapy Day...

Peace Out!

great job man!
Wonder if anyone can add to this - time in Portugal, early 90's playing for T&T in caribbean cups, etc etc.
The goal vs Norway also comes to minds, as well as the chip vs Mexico U-23 in the oval to win the game 3-2.
Also the gold cup game vs el salvador when he single handedly almost won the game for T&T after going 0-2 down...

A full length DVD might be too short for the highlights of this man.

I will even go as far to say that if Latapy could have been playing for a big world team, thus playing in multiple world cups and confederation cups, and perform at the same level these highlights above show, he could have been regarded almost on the same level as Pele and Maradona.
As it is, i could comfortably say he is the most gifted midfielder in CONCACAF of this generation (1985 to present).

This man has spent almost his entire life representing Trinidad and Tobago, yet the only footage we have is him in the latter half of his career.  What about the Tech days, the U16 tournament, Jamaica, Portugal, Bradford City trials . . . unacceptable!!!  If this is our greatest footballer we need tuh come better dan dat!!!

I agree with Sam..........you are such an ungrateful fool.

Where are your clips? Where is your contribution? Some people are born to pull down and cry down others!!

truth be told about a couple years ago, i was studying to start a lil latapy project and tried to establish contact with boavista and academica coimbra through their websites to request any video footage whatsoever..

nothing really came of that, but it would be good if we could compile some footage from those years of his career.

Keith, let me start with an apology, I was not discounting your effort but rather bringing to the surface an issue that has bothered me for sometime.  My statement was not an attack on you but rather the nation as a whole for not adequately preserving the memories of one of the world's greatest.  And in all fairness to you, despite the constraints you still did a remarkable job.   I, and I do believe many on here share the same sentiment, consider myself fortunate to having witnessed the genius that is Russell Latapy - him coming on against Paraguay was my greatest memory.  However, after devoting his entire adult life to Trinidad and Trinidad football we have very little to show.  So much of this guy is lost that the next generation may be denied the privelege of seeing his mastery.  Keith I am not knocking your effort, I just believe collectively we need to put forth a better product.

I wish I could believe you. But it real hard to get stuff, especially local footage. I have been attempting to get T&T games for years. Especially the 1973 game. I even check with Haitians and it was a no go. Lets hope Latas footage available.
