NCC camerman passes...
By Shaun Fuentes

The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation extends condolences to the family, friends and co-workers of Sean Vincent who left this earth on the morning of Wednesday October 25, 2006.

Sean worked as a cameraman for TTT and NCC 4 and was most present at local football matches. Whether it be any activity associated with the TTFF/National Teams, Pro League and Super League as well as the Secondary Schools League, Sean was always the more likely of the cameramen to be there. He also followed the “Soca Warrior” during their qualification bid, making the trip to Bahrain for the historic 1-0 win last November 16,

Reports are that he died in his sleep due to heart complications.

Rest in Peace Sean!

Sean was mih good pardner... We both grew up on Carlos Street. His family is one of the nicest families around. I heard this news yesterday when another friend from Carlos Street called me. He was a good fella and used to sweat religiously in de park, until his job made us see less of him. He would always show up for the annual Christmas day sweat. Every time I visited T&T at carnival, Sean always made sure that he filmed us and I would always end up on tv. His nickname in de park was LLoyd (Clive Lloyd) because he did not hold back when tackling and used to bat players down.
My condolences to his brothers and sister and all of his family.
The park has lost another one of its faithful and carlos street will not be the same without him.
RIP my friend and may God bless you.

And what does that have to do with his death,people die here in the u.s. even with the best healthcare,are you suggesting he never took care of himself............

From what I know Sean was not a smoker, he would take his little drink like anybody else. I was told he had a heart attack.My guess it could have been stress related, as he worked long hours. Mant times I would see him, he would be now rushing to some place for work after only a few hours sleep.
Sad anyway as he is a young man.

I know him from seeing him at hockey matches mainly, but at the odd football match too. Sad thing. RIP, boss.

I had not seen "Clive Lloyd" in yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeears (don't forget we called him that due, in part, to the glasses he wore) but seeing his picture confirms what i was told in conversation with one of the original park members, that he had gained some weight lately. But, while this may be so, it's no reason to make subjective statements about the man without knowing his background. Sean was known to be one of the fittest men growing up in that park and if he gained a little as he got older and was probably a little removed from his past lifestyle, sobeit. It happens to all of us. His dedication to his culture as a cameraman, and the job he did in bringing our culture to our homes was invaluable to us all and he will be sorely missed.........Maybe someone of us can be inspired by him to keep up his stellar work. He was always a great role model and a fine example to his younger siblings. My sincerest condolences to his brothers and the rest of his family.

NCC TV cameraman's funeral tomorrow
Trinidad Express

A MINUTE'S silence was observed during Friday night's Toyota Classic semi-finals at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium in memory of deceased NCC TV sports cameraman Sean Vincent, who died on Wednesday.

Vincent, 38, died from a heart attack and will be buried tomorrow, following a 10 a.m. funeral service at the St Patrick's Roman Catholic Church. Vincent, a 'brethren' to all in the sports media, was a regular at all local football matches where he filmed the action for the government station.

Not shy to express his opinions, he had a running verbal battle with a south nutsman, who uses the catch-line 'buy nuts from meh nah'. Wherever they met at any of the local stadiums, there was sure to be an exchange of picong.

Vincent was a cameraman for many years, first at TTT and then NCC TV. He was responsible for filming footage of many matches, including Trinidad and Tobago's crucial World Cup qualifiers against Bahrain. Vincent leaves behind two children.

Rest in peace Sean. He was married to T&T national goalkeeper (Lisa Jo Ramkissoon) and just had a kid too...
