For St. Mary’s and club football, Russell Tesheira played in the middle. To my recall, up until the point when I left Trinidad in 1974, Russell mainly played wingback for the national team. I believe Selwyn Murren and Selris Figaro started in the middle on the 1973 team in Haiti. At that time, Russell was in his early twenties, while
Selwyn and Selris were in their late twenties.
I will agree with Deeks that our best tandem was Selwyn Murren and Selris Figaro. However, my selections of the two best middle defenders are Selwyn Murren and the “Tank.” People may question the Tank’s height in the middle, but Ah tell yuh, he was unbeatable in there.
