Noel "Sammy" Llewellyn represented Trinidad and Tobago on 45 occasions from 1972 to 1976, scoring 35 goals. Standing a mere five feet four inches, with a 130-lb body-weight, he was an incredible dribbler, noted for sheer speed and skill.

This gifted footballer from Old St Joseph Road, Port of Spain, was lost to local football in 1976 when he was just 26. He was banned by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (T&TFF) after a controversy surrounding a tour to French Guiana.
