Narine’s arrest shocks Warner

JOE PUBLIC boss Jack Austin Warner admitted he was surprised at the arrest of former national footballer Adrian Narine for drug possession at the Heathrow Airport, London, last month. “I was extremely shocked,” said Warner, “because he had the potential to become a very good footballer.” But he conceded that two years ago the 27-year-old midfielder “began to show tendencies which the club found to be unacceptable and we parted company.” Narine was detained by security officers following arrival at the world-renowned airport for alleged possession of three kilogrammes of cocaine.

Warner continued: “I’m very sorry for what has happened and where he is because it’s not something one wishes for anybody. I hope others will learn from his experience.” Narine, who also had stints with Caledonia AIA, Arima Fire and American club San Jose Earthquakes in Major League Soccer (MLS) was due to appear in court in London this week.
