Notice I didn't put a middle ground so I don't want to hear any soft answers about 'they give equally important contributions....'
I want to hear who putting their head on a block all out for one or the other. Give your reason as to why to think one is 'better' and give your definition of 'better'.

At present? or throughout their entire career? country and club?

Big Up!

Anything you feel. Just state your reason for your choice.

In terms of footballing achievements: Yorke
In terms of an asset to T&T right now: Yorke
In terms of raw talent: Latapy

I did not vote however as there's no clear cut answer.

Warrior till death · « **Reply #4 on:** March 23, 2006, 07:29:52 PM »

dis too general to vote for
they are naturally different players, Yorke - Natural Striker,,,,Latas - Natural Midfielder
etc. etc. etc.
Right now u cant compare them cuz Latas a bit older and more unfit

Talkin bout fatman....he score today.....nice

Buh anyhow..........why de need to name the thread "controversy???"

They are two very talented and differing players and to choose one over the other is a hard ask.
Come nah........be reasonable

Because it's a very hard choice and I know that some people will not agree with one another.

But like nobody wants take a firm stand (possibly fearing what others will say in response.

)

Yorke is the best player in the history of Trinidad and Tobago football. Most success, technically and tactically the best. You can argue but look at Yorke highlights on MU "Treble" tape.

It's impossible to compare two men who play different positions.

It's like trying to compare Pele to Maradona.

kicker · « **Reply #21 on:** March 24, 2006, 07:14:38 AM »

Overall:

Latapy.......

slates · « **Reply #22 on:** March 24, 2006, 07:54:58 AM »

No other Trinidadian player comes close to Yorke's achievements. Perhaps, none ever would. To me, a vote for Latas is a sentimental vote.

I say Yorke.

Years from now, "records" will speak more of Yorke's achievements. Yorke has the data points.

ZURITRESS · « **Reply #23 on:** March 24, 2006, 08:13:50 AM »

speaking as someone who played with both. no one in our lifetime will proably archive what yorke has but in terms of football players i think collage put it best god, angels and then latas

So who did you choose?

vibetrini · « **Reply #25 on:** March 24, 2006, 09:38:34 AM »

look since 89 till now - 17 yrs, we take to reach d WC with latas n yorke playing, latas futbol is much more flamboyant and flair filled than yorke's, but d two ah dem did their fair share of stupidness in past campaigns and even wit dey abilities we weren't able to qualigy till now, and u could say the x-factor dis campaign that may have pushed us to 4th place in cocacaf was Beenie.

what dat said, i would sa dey equal, cuz non was able to push us to WC qualification before dis campaign , when beenie was prob the major factor and to a lesser extent yorke and latas late burst during the final 3 games.

SHOTTA · « **Reply #26 on:** March 24, 2006, 10:26:52 AM »

cana i go choose mehself fuh yuh

it aint go be to headache

Warrior till death · « **Reply #27 on:** March 24, 2006, 10:28:03 AM »

remeber the Yorke and Latapy never really officially retired
but they were actually let go by the coach "Fired"
cuz they were trying to bring down the team i.e. trying to get all the credit

dey retired before the WC2002 campaign finished... yorke n latas wrote a joint letter to ttff saying they retired, and the TnT papers printed it... it was on either the express or guardain or both as far as i remember.

Poll

Who is 'better'?
