The Story Behind Jack Warner

Jack Warner

Jack Bell (over at Extra Time (The New York Times) has a couple of great articles on the situation down in Trinidad & Tobago.

Not only have the T & T players won a court ruling entitling them to 50% (28 million) of their World Cup Qualification and Tournament kitty the Federation received, but also England heading down to Port-of-Spain for a friendly when England bidding to host the World Cup in 2018.

First Warner was against England getting the bid, now he’s seemingly for it.

Do people really think that Politics have nothing to do with the game?

And big respect to Shaka Hislop for stepping up to the plate and using his name to fight for the younger, less established players for their right to the money THEY earned by qualifying their country for the 2006 World Cup.
