Aaron Lawrence

The 'Wild Boy' was a tall, athletic and fleet-footed professional. Although there was perhaps room for improvement in his positioning and handling of balls crossed into the six-yard box, in his defence he was known for pulling off spectacular and timely saves when it mattered most. His vast experience proved useful time and time again for the Jamaican national football team in those tough away games. He scored a penalty for Jamaica against India in a friendly match on August 2002.

Lawrence had been a member of the Jamaica national football team for a little more than a decade. His role was primarily as backup to team captain Warren Barrett, until one memorable performance in 1998 at the World Cup finals in France. Starting in Jamaica's third and final game against Japan, Lawrence shut out the relentless Japanese attackers until late in the game when one sneaked by him. He nevertheless protected Jamaica's slim lead and led them to their first World Cup Finals win, a 2-1 result.

Aaron Lawrence (born 11 August 1970) in Jamaica was a professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper, making over 60 appearances for Jamaica. In some sources, his birth date is 10 October 1968.
