Career
Nicknamed Blacka Pearl or The Pearl, Boyd was an extremely gifted yet controversial player whose off field antics always appeared to get him in trouble. Yet, his behavior on and off the field, combined with his great football skills earned him a cult-hero status with Jamaican football fans. On club level he played for Jamaican sides Naggo Head and Constant Spring as well as for United States outfit Colorado Foxes and Welsh team Swansea City.
Boyd made his debut for the Reggae Boyz in 1991 and was capped over 60 times.
He played three matches as a substitute at the 1998. His final international match was a July 2001 friendly match against Saint Kitts and Nevis.
