Name all Trinbagoians from A to Z, famous or not !!!
« on: March 24, 2006, 08:11:38 AM »
Name all Trinbagoians (both Trini born and foreign born with Trini parents) from A to Z, famous or not... or who could have been Trinis or want to be's.... but never represented us...some got the chance and some didn't... and some just didn't want it..

For example....

Bobby Zamora (football), Justin Hoyte (football), Jlloyd Samuel (football), Billy Ocean (singer), Kareem Abdul Jabbar (NBA), Kevon Clement (Track), 2 live crew (hip hop, de chinee man), Heather Headley (singer), Flex Mohammed (football site), Foxy Brown (hip hop), A Tribe Called Quest (hip hop, Phife Dog), Nathan Ellington (football), Craig Rocastle (football), Quavas Kirk (football), Randy Samuel (football), Adrian Serioux (football), Micah Hyde (football), Leo Roget (football), John Murphy (football), King Laro (singer)....

His dad is Trinidadian, his mom is Jamaican. He grew up in Jamaica before moving to England.

Sullivan Walker also was in "The Firm" alongside Tom Cruz.  Geofrey Holder was also in "Boomerang" and at the recent launching of 10 Cane Rum by Moet Hennessy at the TT Consulate in NYC.

BTW: Stephen Ames is from TT, he got Canadian citizenship a few years ago.....
