All yuh know how to get man real emotional in de morning. Meh personal assistant rush in meh office to see why ah bawling so.....

growing up we did not have many positive role models to really aspire to be like. Latas (Big Magician for me too in music) gave us hope, to dream big dreams beyond the borders of our shores in a Tiny dot on the Globe.

Thanks Latas.....

Russell De Great will live on in de hearts of ballers all around de world.I will not talk about de cobeaux. Can I talk bout beenhakker??  I guess not he either. Hip Hip hooray for de best footballer I ever know and undoubtedly an unsung hero who should be seated with the likes of Valdarama, Zidane, Ronaldhino, Ballack, Deco and so many others that I am sure would be happy to call this man dey friend.

Niceness!


I will never forget the support that the Scottish fans gave to TnT in Germany, a lot of that due to the respect earned by Latas, and the love he engendered in their hearts.  Great montage clip.

Latapy was we genius. The type of player every Trini love, for me it is a shame he did not make a bigger impact on the World stage at a club level. It would have been nice to see him in the EPL, La Liga or Seria A. None the less  :applause: :notworthy:

Starting on June 17 will be a special segment on Russell Latapy after Harm visited the player at Falkirk nearing the end of the season. There will also be features on Edwards as well as Jason Scotland and Marvin Andrews.

big up to the producer of that video well done and thank you very much sir it brought tears to my eyes. Russell is a football genius and when he becomes coach of the soca warriors he will bring out the best in TnT footballers something which the present coach Wim can`t not do. Latas is the best we have ever produce not to take anything away from Dwight or any others but it is what it is latas is the boss .............................................

Latas accomplish somethings but he lacked discipline in his youth and as a professional. He could have accomplished so much more but he allowed a lifstyle that was not always conducive to him always being a professional. Just like Gazza did. Could have been so much more. So if you are going to praise him think about how much better he could have been and missed opportunities due to his undiscipline and unprofessional behaviors.  I doh care who vex wit meh. Just look at the big picture not what makes you fel good.
