Jerry Reid: Jamaica's Sporting Legend | Jamaica News
Description
A true titan of Jamaican sports has passed away—Jeremiah Jerry Reid, a legendary figure who dominated and shaped every major sport from cricket to swimming, football to track. Still competing in club cricket at 50 and representing Jamaica in senior athletics at 60, he wasn’t just an athlete—he was a coach, referee, administrator, and mentor who led Jamaica’s Under-19 cricket team to its first West Indies title in 1990 and mentored generations of top athletes. His legacy as a pillar of Montego Bay and western Jamaica’s sporting community is immeasurable, and his loss leaves a profound void across the island.
