| ONE
goal made Trinidad and Tobago’s national football team internationally
popular.
And defender Dennis Lawrence will go down in history as the man
who put Trinidad and Tobago on the football map, when he scored
that one goal against Bahrain that gave them a place at the World
Cup finals in Germany.
His victorious header silenced critics and proved that they lived
up to their names Soca Warriors, a new force to reckon with at the
World Cup finals come June next year.
The Warriors kicked their way to become football heroes with a 0-1
win in Manama that followed a 1-1 draw in Port of Spain.
Lawrence told the thousands of supporters at Piarco International
Airport last Thursday, upon the team’s return he hopes that
the team’s victory could slow crime down.
“Although most of us live abroad, we are aware of the crime
situation in Trinidad,” said Lawrence.
“We hope that our victory would bring back some peace and
stability in our country,” he added.
