T&T International Friendly against Iceland needs Caribbean support
Caribbean football fans are being implored to support minnows Trinidad & Tobago in late February on the eve of their World Cup journey.The message comes from Dennis Lawrence, the man who etched his name in T&T football history when he scored the winning goal against Bahrain in the winner-takes-all second leg play-off last November.
English football fans get their first chance to pay homage to the team dubbed the ‘Soca Warriors’ when they play Iceland in a friendly international on February 28.
The match, at Queens Park Rangers’ Loftus Road ground, falls ironically on Carnival Tuesday, the day that the famed Trinidad carnival reaches its climax.
Lawrence is hopeful Caribbean football fans will show their support for the team starting at Loftus Road.

“I think Iceland is going to be a great game for us. The Iceland game takes places in the middle of London you can’t ask for anything better. Iceland have got good players. They have got Eidur Gudjohnsen and players like that. So I think it is going to be a really good game for us and one by which people can benefit from."

Lawrence, who joined Wrexham in 2001 for a modest £100,000, said: “We are one of the smallest nations ever to have qualified for the World Cup and this is one of the best opportunities we have got to go and change people’s views about Trinidad & Tobago ...".Tickets are now availiable from the Queens Park Rangers stadium at a cost of £20 for adults. T&T fans are to occupy sections E, F and G of the stadium. The Trinis in London.com photographers will be there for the exclusive pics and a bag of noise to show your support. Remember that RED is the colour of the day. See our forum for more details and to pledge your support.
