Former ex-National Football Captain Sedley Joesph has died at age 80.

Mr. Joseph, who was undergoing dialysis treatment,  served his country in football with distinction both as an administrator and a player, captaining the national team during a successful era in which time the country secured Bronze Medal at the 1967 Pan American Games.

The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association has extended its condolences his family, describing Joseph as a man who “displayed solid leadership skills while captaining his  country and club. Respect is earned and he earned it deservingly due to his skills, dedication and leadership qualities.”

The TTFA said in this respect, Mr Joseph was a fine example to his fans and the public at large while he was actively engaged in sports and after retirement during which he served as a football commentator. 

Mr Joseph  was named Trinidad and Tobago Player of the Year in 1967 and was inducted into the T&T Sports Hall of Fame in 1985. He would later go on to to receive the FIFA Centennial Order of Merit in 2004 and the Humming Bird Medal Gold (for Sport) in 2005.
