Young Talented Creative Players
All sports need a star, an exceptional player that would reduce the number of empty seats at a game/event and generate excitement among the sporting public. Sponsors wait with abated breath for the opportunity to associate their products with. That individual as it may increase their market share and the visibility of their product/brand. Football, being more of a team, and not an individual sport, may not attract corporate sponsorship that easily as say athletics. The recent achievements of Usain Bolt and Shelly-Ann Frazer and the follow-up rush by corporate Jamaica to “piggy-back on their success” can attest to that.
Local football is still waiting to see that exceptional young talented player since 2002. With their physical pace seemingly going down the hill, only the ageing Jermaine Hue of Harbour View and Kevin Lamey of Waterhouse enjoys the respect of opponents and the football pundits wherever they go as with one deft move, either player can become the hero. There are other ageing “ above the average” players STILL PLYING THEIR TRADE IN THE LEAGUE NAMELY, Kevin Wilson, Steve Green, Shawn Sawyers, Roen Nelson, Kevin Deer and Irvino English.
