McNab appointed advisor to Minister of Sport
Former national footballer and coach, Allie McNab, has been appointed advisor for matters related to sport to Minister of Information, Culture and Sport, Olivia ‘Babsy’ Grange, the latter confirmed yesterday at a brunch to honour sponsors of the Jamaica Netball Association.
McNab, who played football for Jamaica between 1963 and 1985 and coached the national side from 1987 to 1988, ran for the Jamaica Labour Party against the People’s National Party’s Sharon Hay-Webster in the 1993 general elections.
In addition to playing football, McNab also competed in track and field, which he told the Observer was his first love, winning a gold and two silver medals for Cornwall College at the annual Boys’ Championships in 1966. He was also named the Victor Lodorom Boys’ champion athlete in the same year.
Between 1977 and 1991 McNab worked with the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation providing coverage on the Central American and Caribbean Games in the Dominican Republic, as well as meets in Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana, as well as the 1984 Los Angeles and 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.
