  6. Soooooo proud of you eh…. watching the interview with my son and he looks up to you so much. Thanks for that discipline and commitment you continue to show on and off the field. One thing i know for sure is that the discipline that you have is what continues to keep you ahead of many in the football fraternity. Skill isn’t every thing and you have proven that over and over inspite of all the negative people have to say. Well done! Wonderful interview. My kids will continue to look up to you because you’re a great uncle and wonderful role model. Keep it up bro and God bless! We love u always.

  9. Denzil that was absolutely a thought provoking interview. Quite proud to hear your analyses

  10. Good interview Densil has earned my respect alot more. On every level our leaders are failing us. Thats why our national and football is falling apart…too much egotistical maniacs on top… who only care about themselves n to hell with d yutes…

  11. One of the best interviews we have done Lasana Liburd. He answered alot of questions concerning the world cup that a lot of people including myself asked for years.

  12. An absolutely brilliant interview. May the good LORD continue to bless you and your family Densil!!!!
