for national team and various levels (caps)

The coaching I accepted came at

a time when I was expanding my

outreach as a soccer writer with

the

Caribbean

Camera

newspaper and quite aware of the

rivalry between the two countries

for the bragging rights of the

Caribbean

The 2006 Soccer Salute was

different to International soccer

games I’ve been a part of. Big Ten

Promotion organized the match

with a T&T invitational team

against a Jamaica Invitational team

and offered me the job to coach

the T&T team for the match

Soccer Salute was promoted as a

tribute to the two Caribbean

countries

with

World

Cup

appearances, however, the Soca

Warriors had just returned from the

World

Cup

Germany

and the onus was to capitalize on

the Warriors WC excitement.
