PORT OF SPAIN, CANA - TRINIDAD and Tobago's World Cup footballers were heckled by several Jamaican fans as they passed through Miami's International Airport last week en route to the Cayman Islands, the Trinidad Guardian newspaper reported yesterday.
Several members of the squad were teased by Jamaicans in the departure lounge as they waited for a flight to the Cayman Islands, having arrived in Miami via London - where they had broken off a live-in camp hours before.
On one occasion, England-born players Ronnie Mauge, Kevin Austin and Ian Cox were waved at by a group of Jamaican women who, after recognising the trio as the opposition, instantly started to laugh antagonisingly.
"More fire," they shouted to the trio! "More fire for dem Trinis when they go to Kingston," the Guardian report said.
The T&T squad arrived in the Cayman Islands on Friday and will be joined by Manchester United star Dwight Yorke in Kingston tomorrow.
T&T squad - Shaka Hislop, Clayton Ince, Ross Russell, Kevin Austin, Brent Sancho, Ian Cox, Dennis Lawrence, Anthony Rougier, Ronnie Mauge, Reynold Carrington, Marvin Andrews, Carlos Edwards, Russell Latapy, Mickey Trotman, Lyndon Andrews, Brent Rahim, Stokely Mason, Angus Eve, Nigel Pierre, Stern John.
