Haitian Football captain Pierre Bruny: Monkey's (Trinidad) off our back
Friday, January 26th 2007
Haiti captain Pierre Bruny said that Trinidad and Tobago have been like a monkey on Haiti's back since the 1970s and it is a special feeling to win the Digicel Caribbean Cup in Trinidad.
Speaking following his team's 2-1 victory in the final on Tuesday at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Bruny pointed out that his country was once a dominant force in the region, but for a long time had to live in Trinidad and Tobago's shadow.
As a former Joe Public player, Bruny said he had a lot of respect for T&T football and had begged his Haitian teammates to give him a retirement gift by winning the Caribbean Cup in Trinidad and Tobago.
Bruny said he is likely to retire following Haiti's participation in the CONCACAF Gold Cup later this year in the United States.
