    Tit-bit on Allan "Skill" Cole

    Cole rose to prominence in 1966 by becoming the youngest schoolboy to represent Jamaica at football when he wore the national jersey against Haiti at 15 years and four months -- a record that still stands.
    He played several years for Jamaica and also became the first Jamaican to land a professional contract in Brazil, playing for division one team Nautico in 1972.

    …and perhaps, after all these years in the game this man knows a little about football?

    What type of club was this Nautico in 1971 and 1972? A lousy club or a club that knew quality players? A club that was considered one of the bottom Brazilian clubs or one among the crème de la crème?

    Well they thought “Skill” was of the highest football skill! …and, that’s fact!

      Thanks, boss!
      I hope that answers and shuts up Jawge?
      Surely he cannot say those Brazilians of 1971-1972 with their then level in the game neva know ball?

      Jawge: Are you going to tun pan di Brazilian dem now?

        Well let's wait and see if the target gets shifted. My bredrin Jawge is that talented enough to spin out of that one.

          Excellent work, Karl!

          Skill joined Nautico just 3 years after they won the championships 6 years in a row!!! He must be good. I think. Just a hunch, Jawge. And he still has not scored 2 wc goals.

                For me Skill has always been the best Jamaican footballer I have ever seen no he was not as good as Pele (afternoon Jawge) but he was'nt that far off either. If Skill had the same opputunity as Tappa did to go to a WC then I have no doubt in my mind that he would have performed very well and scored goals.

                Authur Latimore and Lenny Hyde deserve honarable mentions as well.

                  being wrong has never silenced jawge.....the eternal learner meets the eternal optimist?
