The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) has extended condolences to the family of The Teba McKnight, who died yesterday (Feb. 10th).

The 37-year-old former Naparima College forward had not been involved in T&T football for some time due to complications caused by liver ailment and lost his brave battle at the San Fernando General Hospital. He was a former National Youth team forward and also attended and played for George Mason University in the US on a scholarship. 

He was also one of the previous youth coaches within the TTFA elite programme, also serving as head coach of the Elite Under 13 Boys group last year. He was head coach of Real Central and ran his academy Elite Ballers. He was also the youth technical director for the Central Football Association. Teba formerly played for Joe Public, W Connection and Club Sando.

TTFA President William Wallace said:
“We are deeply saddened at the TTFA following the death of Teba. I remembered him as a standout with Naparima College in the SSFL and I knew of his ongoing development as an upcoming coach in the Central Football Association and the Elite programme. We have lost yet another young man who possessed great love and passion for the game, showing tremendous potential and promise to go on to greater things.”
