Our intrepid reporter Andy Scott recently sat down with Clermont Foot 63's Jamaica international Shamar Nicholson to talk about his journey from Kingston to France's top flight - via Slovenia (Domzale), Belgium (Charleroi) and Russia (Spartak Moscow)!
Nicholson - for whom football is the only sport - compares and contrasts Caribbean and European lifestyles while also giving some insights into his taste for testing his mental strength - both through career choices and more external factors like COVID - and footballing skills in a league as competitive as Ligue 1 Uber Eats.
Clermont's Jamaica star (47 caps, 16 goals) also discusses being part of The Reggae Boyz's push to qualify for the 2026 World Cup in North America.
