THE EDITOR, Sir:

I am wondering if there is anything that could be done about getting Marlon King out of retirement to come back and represent the Reggae Boyz in the qualifiers to shore up the front line of the squad.

I watched the Boyz first final-round game against Mexico at the Azteca and was impressed, even though I was very surprised about the two clear goals (gifts) that we failed to take advantage of because of poor finishing.

This is why I think Marlon King is still needed in the squad; he is a superb finisher. I would love to know if there is a way Captain Horace Burrell can get Marlon King to reconsider and put what happened in the past behind him, even though it might be hard.

It was very plain in the first match that the finishing is not there, in a match we could have won by three clear goals. Our work is not finished. We still have to try to get him back by whatever means necessary.
