Young Jamerson says Dad Kerry inspired him.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).

Ma Pau midfielder Devon Jamerson made his senior international debut for Trinidad and Tobago,coming on in the second half of  the recent 2-0 loss to Chile in Iquique. And now he’s hoping to cement a regular spot in Russell Latapy’s team.

At age 21, Jamerson is also hoping to emulate the kind of career his father, ex-Strike Squad player Kerry Jamerson had which saw him ending  his career as a player with the Defence Force before going on to coach at the same club.

“Yes he (Kerry) has been a help to me. He spoke to me before we went to Chile and told me to be calm and just be myself out there on the pitch if the chance came for me.

I know he was a player for the national team even though I didn’t get to see him much of him playing for the country but I would like to go on to become that kind of player and maybe even go on to greater things,” Jamerson said.

Looking back at his debut, he added that he knew it would be challenging.

“Well I know being a national player is not an easy thing. There will be challenges and I expected that game to be hard because Chile is a good team and they qualified for the World Cup but we did pretty okay and we can only get better from here.

I’m looking forward to being part of the team in the future and hopefully I can progress to becoming a better player as well with the experience I am gaining now as a member of the national side.”

"The head coach also spoke to me, letting me know what to expect and gave me advice on how to go about things.

I wasn't too nervous but obviously for your first game you must have some nerves but I came through okay in the end and now I'm looking forward to keeping my spot in the team," he added.

Kerry Jamerson was great. Simply a great class act. Will never forget him and his laser precision distance shots.

[Ngozi]

Jamerson play for Arima I believe and he score one of the best bullets I ever seen in the stadium vs Guatemala I believe..... one of my biggest disappointments is that I don't have a record of that goal  just pure leather after latas turn and lay it back for him .... aint see nothing in TT since.

[vb]

I must really be getting old. I remember an ex Arima player who made his debut in 1994, we beat Dominica 5-0 and he scored a hat trick. Thought it was Kerry but must be somebody else.

The only place I think you might see it is the Strike squad music videos with the game clips .Only place I could think about .I wish I had video taped all the months leading up to November 19th ,89 .

[Ngozi]

Marcelle wasnt on that sando tech team .... I remember latas , leonson faustin, sean walkes, ainsley weeks off the top of meh head ... but i know marcelle wasnt on that team.

[football king]

Marcelle never play with Sando Tech VB.  Man call all the names i recall
'Yellow man' from San Juan play in the middle too, name might have been Sean Constantine
I thought the Keeper last name was Ali because i don't remember Ross Russell on that team
Add latas, faustin, lewis

[spideybuff]

[Quags]

All you got to do is change the video card ,get a video capture card ,then hook up the rca cables from theVCR to the capture card input which cost bout 40 bucks, and hook up the audio to your   mircophone input .record then burn or upload .its easy .
