Anton Skerritt is one of the
youngest players who came under
my tutelage. His father Tony Skerritt
brought him into the Street Guys
Soccer League at Flemingdon Park
to play with Players Under 23 team.
He was 18 at the time but I met in
earlier times when I played the
music for his parents parties at their
home as DJ Power Cats.
.
It was not hard to relate to a
younger player like Anton because I
was around older guys all my life so
it was just about getting to the
comfort zone after talking while
dropping him to and from practice
and games to become friends.
Anton is one of a number of young
players who had a lot to give but did
not think that the Iere club listened
to their opinion and ideas.
The former double Olympian
(T&T 84 & Canada 88) and Howard
University graduate is ambitious and
well supported by his parents and
especially his mother Claudia.
He was the Head Instructor for our
soccer camps and became part of
management in Players, Spoilers
and Caribbean Stars. He brought
sponsors into the club and as the
Most Goals scorer for Spoilers in
1993 Anton has elevated his game
from a teacher to a night school
Principal and we must all agree that
thus far we can say …
Well Done!
Well Done!
