Former Golden Jaguar captain Christopher Nurse has criticised the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Senior Men’s coaching staff for their omission of experienced midfielder Neil Danns from 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against Trinidad and Tobago and Bahamas.
This was opined during an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sport. According to Nurse, “I think the Neil Danns exclusion is extremely distasteful and the people deserve an explanation because we all know this is not about age. To show such disregard to a Guyanese football legend, someone who I think is such an inspiration to our youngsters and seniors both on and off the field as a person and as a player is really sad. It highlights the consistent disrespect and disregard Guyana national players have been treated with historically. If there is any positive from it, it highlights the changes we need to make in how we respect and treat our national players home and abroad.”
