Elliot Allen probably got his green card after that game on Nov 1989.....
I see Allen blow way some defenders a few times and I was shocked, not only that,,,,, but hear this.... I work here with some Italians and one day they ask me where I was from, so ah tell them Trinidad, them men hold they head and bawl..... they say, well you know of Elliot Allen, I said yes....
They said one day they was training with they Italian side somewhere in Queens and Allen walked up to them and ask if he can train with them, they said sure..... well he impress them so much that he was on they team de next day, them men say he use to beat men with ease, he had a rocket left foot and strong on the ball, they said he was a selfish player but real talented, he pull they team for years, they became dependant on him.... they say they have never seen a player in real life play so good.....they was suprise when USA beat us on Nov 1989.... because they said Allen alone is like having Maradonna on your side, thats how much they loved this man.... up to today when I meet one of the Italians son who was on that team and ask for Allen, he say's I cant stand that man, he does show off to much, play like he tieing he lace and shake yuh,,,,, he said Allen love heself andI does just laugh because de man cant handle Allen he vex.....
Flex was suppose to meet him once and do an interview, but any time we called him he was little busy, so we never bother again, I hear he does still play here in NY....
PS: Philbert Jones was a striker who could miss he birthday..... Allen was midfield.....
