The only problem is - he is not Jamaican.:angry:
Lawrence Smith, from the USA, debutted for Harbour View's U21 team today with a Wayne Rooney impression, blasting the first 4 goals in HVFC's 10-0 victory over Wadadah this evening.
Showing excellent technique in dribbling, ball control, shielding and shooting, Lawrence had the crowd chanting his name when he was subbed in the 2nd half, visibly limping.
His 3rd goal was a peach. Using some space that had opened up on the left as his teammates drew defenders, Lawrence dribbled into the penalty area and unleashed a torrid left-foot shot into the far right corner. It should have come as no surprise to the Wadadah goalie as the first goal was almost identical.
As his teammates finally got onto the score sheet as Wadadah capitulated, Lawrence appeared to sit back a little. But he could have scored his 5th when he was sent through on goal. However, to the astonishment of everyone, his shot went well wide! Well, even Rooney has off days!
It says a lot about our football when someone like Lawrence can come into a HVFC side that is leading the U-21 competition and dominate. Yes, it was Wadadah, but it is clear to me that this player has the goods! Not one salad, not one unnecessary body shift, not one pile, but he takes 6 shots to goal and scores 4. Indeed, after just one game, he almost equalled the competition's leading goalscorer, Mitchily Waul, who had 5 goals at the beginning of the game, and added one more today. Oh, and just before he started his assault on the Wadadah goal, his own teammate was heard saying that Lawrence was too slow. Luckily, not all of them felt that way. In fact, many don't believe he has even begun to extend himself.
