Kamu Laird

Kamu Laird (born 23 December 1975, Port of Spain) is a Trinidadian footballer who briefly played in the Football League for Chester City as a forward.
Before joining Chester in December 1999, Laird had played in his homeland for Fatima College and then in the United States for Augusta State University. He signed for Chester along with compatriot Angus Eve at a time when they were bottom of Division Three under American manager Terry Smith, who had recently signed other foreign hopefuls including Joe Carver, Goran Milosavljevic and Martin Nash.
The duo were to enjoy memorable debuts against Halifax Town, with both scoring in the first-half in a 2-1 win on December 18, 1999. Laird went off at half-time and in the next game came on as substitute against Mansfield Town. His third and final appearance for Chester came just 10 days after his debut, when he was taken off after just 27 minutes in a humiliating 5-1 home defeat by Leyton Orient.
After not playing for Chester again, Laird joined non-league side Dulwich Hamlet in late January 2000. He is believed to have emigrated after the season ended.<ref name="Chester City v pg. 24"/>
