From Trinidad and Tobago to Thailand: A football odyssey
By Matt Riley (thaileaguefootball.com)
Kendall Jagdeosingh, or “Jaggy” sat down with Thai League Football to tell us how a man capped seventeen times by Trinidad and Tobago came to be play in the Thai Premier League.
Thailand is seen by many as one the most beautiful countries in the world, but you come from a place some people see as even more attractive. Have you found it difficult to be away from your family and those beautiful islands?
Well, I left my country when I was twenty one and apart from that my wife and youngest daughter live in America and my other daughter lives in Trinidad. I have been away from my wife and youngest daughter for a while now. Being in America was easier because I could see them once a month for like a weekend or five days. So being away from them is difficult but this is my job and my wife understands (even though she gets frustrated a lot!) It is all part of the sacrifice now so that everything can be better later.
If you can settle here would you think of bringing your family over, or would you continue to support your family back home?
At the moment, the plan was that they would be here, but my youngest daughter goes to school in Trinidad. My wife is finishing at college this year. They will come over for two months in the summer which will be great, but as soon as she finishes in college we can plan for the future. But who knows what the future holds. When I came last season they offered me a two year contract. They offered me a new deal at the end of last season so we will see how the season goes.

Perhaps one day we'll benefit from all the journeymen who are getting to observe the world's game in every corner of the globe. It could help them as coaches later.
