1. What’s your most memorable moment or match, whether for country or Club?
Making my professional debut Sept 8 1992 vs West Brom, we lost 3-0. Still I  will never forget that proud day. Captaining the team against Mexico in Mexico, again we lost 3-0 but it was a memorable performance. Of course I will never forget the last three wins by the national team.
          
2. Name two persons, whether relative or not who have been an inspiration to you.
My father George and my eldest daughter Maalana.

3. Any favourite player or team?
My favourite player to watch is Zinedine Zidane.

4. What would be your preferred other profession?
I’d like to design cars.
 
5. What do you hope to accomplish either in next 5 years or end of playing career?
End of playing career, would like to represent T&T in World Cup. No immediate plans for after football.
 
6. Who’s been among your most admired coaches and why?
Mark McGhee because he gave me my first break. Hayden Martin - my coach at CIC. That period will  always be the top of my list as it was just a very enjoyable time for me.

7. What do you think of T&T’s chances of making it to the 2006 World Cup?
Very good. The form now is definitely the kind of form that can take us there.

8. Any instances or plays that you always reflect on?
I tend to focus on my family life but when things aren’t going well professionally, my family take on a renewed significance.
 
9. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received?
Too much to say……

Spend a lot of time with my family. I read…..
 
11. What’s your favorite dish?
Pelau.

12. Favourite drink?
Carib.

13. Favorite time of year?
Off season.

12. Most comfortable football boot?
Not particular with the boots. With the gloves though I like Uhlsport even though I’m wearing Selsport for the first time in my career now.

13. What was the high point for you this season as well as the low point?
Last season there were not much high points. It was disappointing at Portsmouth. This season is simply about me enjoying my football again which I hadn’t done for this calendar year.

14. Advice for upcoming ones?
Listen to people who have been there and done that. Too many young players believe that they know what it takes.

15. Tell us about your decision to make your debut for T&T.
Dwight and Russell convincing me that it was the right time to come back and to put my differences with the TTFF behind me in an effort to see this team qualify for the World Cup. Those differences have been a down point in my career. It’s not a lot to say about it but without going into much detail, differences which have not really been addressed but maybe  those differences will be better served with my representing T&T and my dealing with them at  a higher level. I definitely see the potential for that to happen.

16. Any regrets about it?
No regrets, not at all…..
