BEAM ME UP SCOTTY
WE will, of course, be supporting Trinidad & Tobago in Germany this summer because of their Scotland connections. It’s not just Jason Scotland, the St Johnstone striker. No fewer than three of the T&T squad have nicknames with a Caledonian ring.
Oor Jason is known as Scotty. Forward Scott Sealy is called Scottie. Both of which are self-explanatory. Less obvious is why defender Atiba Charles is also known as Scotty. This could lead to some confusion in terms of communication on the park.
Others in the Soca Warriors team who might qualify as Scotties because they play in Scotland include Marvin Andrews of Rangers and Russell Latapy and Densill Theobald, both of Falkirk. Theobald’s nickname is Bleeder. Andrews is known as Dawg. Latapy has two monikers, the Little Magician and Stompy. The former is a tribute to his skills, the latter presumably not a reference to any penchant for dirty play.
Not that it is at all relevant, but the socawarriorstt.com website indicates that the T&T support is also blessed with a stunning array of Caribbean tottie.
(For those of you who don't know, tottie means a really hot chick)
