Dependable Trinidad & Tobago goalkeeper Shaka Hislop will need no introductions for English fans ahead of their World Cup clash this summer.

Raised in the East End of London, Hislop learned his trade in the US college system before joining Reading in 1992.

Newcastle paid £1.75million in 1995 - a British record fee for a keeper at the time - to take him to St James' Park.

Hislop has since had two spells at West Ham either side of a two-year stint with Portsmouth, playing a key role in the side that won promotion to the Premiership.

Had things worked out differently, Hislop could be lining up against Trinidad & Tobago this summer; he played in an England 'B' international against Switzerland in 1998 under Glenn Hoddle, but never made the full squad and committed himself to the Soca Warriors the following year.

Hislop faces a battle with Kelvin Jack to be Trinidad and Tobago's first-choice keeper in Germany.
