Who was our best foreign born import.

[Controversial]

Shaka was born in England.

Hence....foreign born.

I also think if yuh countin other caribbean countries as "foreign born" (after all....dey not T&T).....we might be surprised at who would qualify under dis criteria.  Not everybody who play for T&T was BORN in T&T.

What if somebody were to say that Latas was BORN in St Vincent and come T&T as a chile?  Is that out of the realm of possibility?  Remember....Slinger Francisco is a Grenadian.

I know Latas from up the hill but I didn't know he was Vincey born.. I thought he was born in town..

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong

I wouldn't be far fetched at all ...

That can be read in two ways... One as an example and the other as a hint at the truth/info not previously known to most...

It is a pity JayLoyd did not play for TT. He is a good one.

He played in two World Cup Qualifiers in 2009.

I meant, it is a pity he did not play more games for TT. I still feel he can do ah thing for TT.

Yeah man at one point he was one of the best wing backs in England.
Unfortunately for us England wanted him too.
To me a born Trini should not hesitate to commit to T&T like he did.

  maybe, maybe not brother... but who is to say Latas don't have roots in vincey or grenada through his parents

[Deeks]

It is not farfetched that Trinis with French and French sounding names may have had a parent or parents from either Greneda, Vincy, Loosha, Dominica. Many of the "white" Trinis are descendants of Martinique, Guadeloupe and Haiti. Remember this started first with the Spanish authorities in Trini issuing the Cedula de Populacion.

This Foreign/local things is a bit petty. As far as Shaka is concern, I think Shaka was born in England because his dad was studying there. Isn't that the case. At what age he came to Trini. That I don't know. There is no record of him playing for any youth club in England before he came to Trini. It appears that he learned and played the game in Trini until he went to Howard Univ.  Compared  to.Samuel who was born in Trini. There is no record of him playing primary, secondary schools or youth football in Trini. It appears he learned the game thru the English club system.

Semantics.

The definition of "learned the game" could vary from person to person.

For example: It can be reasonably debated that Yorke learned the game in England.

Is John Barnes English or Jamaican?  He played school football in Jamaica and was born there....but played for England

Is Kerron Clement the 400 M hurdler a Yank or Trini?

It can go on and on

[Deeks]

Semantics is true. But to tell me that Dwight learned the game in England is farfetched. Dwight was one goal away from playing in the WC at 17 yrs old. Did he improve tremendously after going to England. No doubt about that. But the initial solid foundation in skills and mental toughness was developed in TT. you may not want to acknowledge that fact. But that is true.

I will also put Stephen Ames in the same category as Dwight. He was an accomplished golfer before player for Canada. He developed his skill in Point a Pierre and the golf course in Maraval, St. Andrews?? I think.

As far as Clement concern, he is very much on the Yank side. I don't know what age he went  to the states and what sport he played in TT before he left. But it seemed that he honed his athletic skills in the US. I can't remember hearing anything about Clement in TT before then.
