Theodore Whitmore - International Career

International Career

Whitmore made his debut in a November 1993 friendly match against the United States, coming on as a late substitute for Hector Wright. He's earned 105 official international caps and scored 24 goals for the Jamaican national team. He was the Reggae Boyz' midfield general during the second half of the 1990s, playing as a major catalyst for the Jamaicans as they advanced to their first and only World Cup in 1998. Although Jamaica was eliminated in the first round, Whitmore scored two goals in Jamaica's lone win of the competition, a 2-1 victory against Japan. In that same year he was named Caribbean Footballer of the Year. His last international match was also against the United States, a 1-1 away draw on 17 November 2004 during 2006 World Cup qualification in which he was substituted for Jason Euell in the 72nd minute.
