I don't know much or hear about KJ any more,the last contact i had with him was a couple years ago when i used to have him and Ron Laforest come my way to do Summer Camps,at that time he lived some where in New York.The last i heard of him was that he was still doing little coaching here and there down there.You are right about him taking DF to win that Campionship,they are the first and only club in T&T to achieve this,you don't even hear about him and he was a very good forward,as a matter of fact he used to score more goals for us than Ron La.

I'm glad you brought this up because ppl does talk about every one else and if you look at the history of DF we have set so many standards and records in T&T but never got the credit we deserve,you hear about Maple,Malvern,Jableteh etc great players any position,every trophy,tournament,championship,we have broken so many barriers

I'm very sensitive when ever it comes to Defence Force,in any era and time we would have been a force to be reckoned with,just call them we had them,you name them we had them,some of the finest players this country has produced came from right here.It's a pity the present DF administration does not think Football is important to the image of the services any more.

Well said... and so true.

let us also not forget that DF made to the concacaf champions cup final in 87 and 88. this was probably the greatest club team T&T ever produced.

So curious what really happened to DF no more dominance
is it players just getting paid more by the other clubs???
i always liked that team after my hometeam tacarigua utd.

         Although i've been away from T&T and DF for some time i've always tried to keep in touch and update myself on what's going on with the Football,it's one place i must go when ever i'm home DF Headquarters,it even had one time when i was there and they were recruiting(Footballers) and i was afforded the opportunity to talk to these guys and told them they have a tradition to upkeep,and it will not be an easy one,they thought may be i was scarring them.
 
      I don't think the present administration realize how important Football is to this administration/Services,it was used in the 70's when there was the Black Power uprising and part of the Army revolted to bring back that image which we had lost,i think it can still be used today with the kind of things you are hearing about our Soldiers/Sailors today.

      I visited them when i was home in January and i've been given a run down on the problems they are having,the Coaches have changed again i think they are changeing Coaches too regular,Anthony Barington and Hudson Charles are the coaches this year,i have a very good relationship with Dexter Lee so he is my main man down there who keeps me updated.

[football king]

really hope they get everything sorted out.

You know i forgot about him,i don't know where or how he ended up,i must remember him he was one of the few white boys that played for DF, Roger Tardier and Lenny Gill were others,they were always special guys to us.

I believe that the ability of players to get paid to play in first the semi-pro league and now the Pro league has robbed the DF of players who back in the day had no other option but to join the DF and be able to earn a living and play football. Now the best players no longer go to the DF.
 But the DF was  great. Games back in the day against ASL, Tesca and others were probably the best overall quality football that was played in Trinidad.

Exactly, thats the end of an era we are never going to see again, also Police no longer have the quality of players the had in the past.
