Craig Rocastle

Rocastle was with Isthmian League Premier Division club Gravesend and Northfleet when in September 2001 he went on trial to Queens Park Rangers, who during his stay with them went into administration. After a loan spell in November 2001 with Southern League Eastern Division club Ashford Town (Kent), it was announced in early December 2001 that he had left Gravesend and Northfleet. Later that month (initially on a one month trial) Rocastle signed with Isthmian League Premier Division side Kingstonian for whom he made 23 goal-less league appearances. In February 2003 he signed with Slough Town, making 13 Isthmian League Division One North appearances without scoring. He then signed with Premier League club Chelsea in 2003, although he did not make a first-team appearance, appearing once as a non-playing substitute. Rocastle made his debut in the English Football League on 14 February 2004, at the age of 22, playing for Barnsley in a 1–0 defeat at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground. He had joined the Yorkshiremen on loan and made another four Second Division appearances before leaving Oakwell the next month. In late-March he joined Third Division side Lincoln City on loan, but only made two substitute appearances before returning to Stamford Bridge before the end of the season. He spent the first half of the 2004–05 season at Tony Mowbray's Hibernian, playing 13 league games in a very successful season for the SPL club. The club had kept faith with the midfielder as he damaged a thigh…

Rocastle was eligible to play for both Grenada or Jamaica as his father was from Grenada and his mother was from Jamaica. He made his Grenada international debut on 26 November 2010, in a 2010 Caribbean Cup match against Martinique at the Stade d'Honneur de Dillon in Fort-de-France. He was named by coach Mike Adams in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup at the United States, and played the first half of the 4–0 defeat to Jamaica at The Home Depot Center, before being taken off for Lancaster Joseph. Grenada exited the competition after finishing bottom of their group. On 15 November 2012, Rocastle scored from an indirect free kick from 22 yards (20 m) out in a 1–1 draw with French Guiana.
