De Silva named Charleston captain.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).


Former National Under 20 and Under 17 midfielder Sean De Silva has been named captain of College of Charleston for their upcoming College Division One season in the United States

De Silva was voted captain by his teammates as they continue their preseason campaign. They face American MLS club Toronto FC at home in a friendly today (Thursday).

“It’s great to be named captained especially as my teammates voted on it. I have two years left here so I’m sophomore captaining the team.

It means I’m always putting the team first instead of me and now it’s not just about setting a good example and being a leader on and off the field,” De Silva said.

Last season the former St Mary’s College and La Foucade Coaching School member, led Charleston in assists and game winners.

He played for T&T at the 2007 FIFA Under 17 and 2009 FIFA Under 20 World Cups and also made his senior debut in a friendly versus Panama in 2009.
The real measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

I always liked this kid and I am not surprised by his appointment.  He is a very mature and talented player and I'm sure this isn't the last we are going to be hearing of good news about him.

He lacks pace, and that could be his downfall.

From what I observe in modern day football, unless yuh's a big big general they  basically building a team around you, if yuh lacking pace, yuh hopes aren't that high.

  I hear yuh....in spite of that, I like his football brain and composure, though.  He have a rel nice touch, too.  Hopefully it could work well in his favour all the same.
