FAVOURITE ARTIST: Bounty Killer
PROFILE: Robert is a physical defender who tackles well and has a good understanding of the game. Despite his inexperience at the National level he has great potential and should flourish once he develops his confidence and wins the trust of his teammates. He is a quiet youngster and a devoted Christian who aims to draw his strength from his spiritual background. Robert is an all round athlete competing in table tennis and lawn tennis. His all round attitudes see him as a utility player. He suffered a set back in his club football career, while on a three goal scoring streak for Westland in the National A-League, when the team was suspended from all National Competitions in 1999. He graduated from Knox College where he played three seasons of daCosta Cup football without any spectacular achievement. He moved to the prestigious St. Elizabeth institution, Munro College, where he wears the Captain’s armband. With that responsibility “Ginger” set about leading Munro College to the second phase of the rural schoolboy football competition. His stellar contributions as part of the miserly Munro defence brought him to the attentions of the National Youth technical staff and he was invited to travel to Brazil and participate in the two-week camp. He gave a good account of himself and should prove an able deputy to the starters.

PROFILE: Omar burst into prominence after he was called to the National Senior squad that toured Cayman Islands. and impressed while playing in an exhibition game for a Clarendon All Star XI vs. the National Team. Rat plays in central midfield and is growing under the guidance of coach de Oliviera. An aggressive midfielder he is prone to yellow cards but that aggression is the stand out aspect of his game along with his good dribbling skills and midfield work ethic. He is also a capable goal scorer and has decent long range shooting with both feet. He began his football career at Glenmuir High School and was largely ignored by the bigger clubs in his home parish. He played with Central Strikers and Israel, a decent outfit from Monymusk in Clarendon. Omar went outside Clarendon in search of his footballing dreams and landed at Value P, a new club with lots of money that was aiming for the top. Unfortunately, Value P fell at the final hurdle. Needing only a draw to qualify for the National A-League they lost and the ambitious midfielder headed home to play for newly promoted Premier League outfit Hazard United. Omar is well respected by his teammates many of whom look up to him for leadership. He is also a firm fan favourite and an integral piece of the midfield jigsaw puzzle with Kelly, Wolfe and Frasier. Omar is definitely destined for bigger things.

ACHIEVEMENTS:
FAVOURITE PLAYERS: Byron Earle, Deigo Maradonna
FAVOURITE CLUBS: Liverpool, Real Madrid and Chelsea
HOBBY/ CAREER AMBITIONS: Coach football in his community
FAVOURITE ARTIST:
PROFILE: Garfield is an attack-minded utility player who operates on the right wing. He is a diminutive player who runs well off the ball to create space. This promising young player has been utilised as a forward by both club and country. He was called to the Under 17 squad in 1997 but did not make the team admittedly due to his attitude. To his credit “Richie Blinds” has turned over a new leaf and is training hard to improve his speed and technique. Hailing from the inner city community of Jones Town in Kingston, he is a beacon who acts as a mentor to some of the younger members in his community. He now plays his football for his hometown side Arnett Gardens and has coped well with the strong, intense partisan supporters of this perennial underachiving club. He endeared himself to local fans by scoring a spectacular goal from an acute angle against bitter rivals Tivoli Gardens away from home.

DOB: February 12, 1983
POSITION: Forward
INTERNATIONAL CAPS: Under-20, Under-17
CURRENT CLUB: Reno United(NPL)

SCHOOL BOY FOOTBALL: Marcus Garvey Technical
ACHIEVEMENTS: 1999 U17 Youth World Cup
FAVOURITE PLAYERS: Harold Hemmings, Keith Kelly and Pavel Nedved
FAVOURITE CLUBS:
HOBBY/ CAREER AMBITIONS: Own a business
FAVOURITE ARTIST:
PROFILE: Craig hails from the tourist town of Ochi Rios in the non-traditional footballing parish of St. Ann on the North Coast of Jamaica. As a forward he came to National prominence by displaying sound technical ability rather than any record-breaking goal scoring feats. This is ironic for a player who prides himself on his finishing and work rate, although he scored thirteen goals in three seasons in daCosta Cup football. During this period, his school managed to reach the quarterfinal round of the competition. Craig was rewarded with a place on the bench of the National U17 team and made a couple of substitute appearances including a memorable one in the Youth World Cup against Paraguay. Craig ignored St. Ann’s bigger clubs Black Stars and Brazil, which play in the A-League, and was lured by his friend and fellow U17 teammate Kingsley Brown to join Reno F.C. in Westmoreland in the National Premier League. It is a great testament to Craig’s dedication and discipline that he travels over two hundred miles by bus to train and play in the highest league in the land.
