Onandi Lowe (born 2 December 1974, also known as Nandi〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Onandi Lowe )〕) is a Jamaican former international footballer who played in every outfield position, but was best known as a prolific forward. He spent some of his career in the Jamaican National Premier League as well as having stints in North America and England. He scored 27 goals in 65 international appearances and appeared at the 1998 FIFA World Cup. However he found himself on the wrong side of the law with drugs in the latter part of his career, and has been described as "one of Jamaica's most controversial players".〔 He started his career at Harbour View, before joining Canadian side Montreal Impact in 1996. He returned to Jamaica with Waterhouse the following year, before signing with American side Richmond Kickers via Arnett Gardens in 1999. He then helped Rochester Raging Rhinos to win the A-League in 2000. He joined Kansas City Wizards the following year, and also had a brief spell on loan at English side Port Vale. He did though sign with Rushden & Diamonds in February 2002, and hit 49 goals in 90 league games for the club. He transferred to Coventry City in March 2004, before returning to Jamaican side Arnett Gardens later in the year following his arrest by British police. He later played for Portmore United, Miami FC, and Arnett Gardens again, before he retired in 2008. He is the father of Damion Lowe, defender for Seattle Sounders FC. ==Club career== After leaving Dunoon Technical High in his hometown of Kingston,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Player Profile )〕 Lowe joined Harbour View, a top Jamaican club, in 1993.

He helped Impact to the A-League's Northeast Division final in 1997, scoring twice against Toronto Lynx in the semi-finals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=game )〕 He returned to Jamaica after two seasons with Impact, joining Waterhouse and then Arnett Gardens. He moved back to the A-League with Richmond Kickers, scoring 15 goals and gaining seven assists in 1999. He played for Rochester Raging Rhinos in 2000, and scored in the tournament's final, in a 3–1 win over Minnesota Thunder at Frontier Field. In 2001 he tried his luck in Europe, joining Port Vale on loan for the end of the 2000–01 season. However his deal at Vale Park was not made permanent after he quit the club when chairman Bill Bell refused to provide him with a car; when a reporter asked if he was upset about paying the wages of a player that had absconded, Bell replied "dunner worry kid, we won't be paying him". Spending the rest of the year with new club Kansas City Wizards, he scored eight goals in 20 games. He joined Rushden & Diamonds of the Football League Third Division on loan in December 2001, and signed permanently with "Diamonds" in February 2002. He spent two years with the club; making close to 100 appearances and keeping a goal rate of better than one every two games he was a crowd favourite at Nene Park. This record includes a hat-trick against Mansfield Town at Field Mill on 30 March 2002, as part of the club's run to the play-off Final, which ended in a 3–1 defeat to Cheltenham Town at the Millennium Stadium. He went on to score 16 goals in 42 games in 2002–03, as the club finished as the division's champions. Moving on to Coventry City in March 2004, he got off to a bad start with manager Eric Black after failing to report for duty following an international game. He scored once in two matches before he was released at the end of the 2003–04 season due to his ongoing drug trial. Returning to Jamaica with old club Arnett Gardens, he attempted to return to England with Peterborough United in March 2005 and ran into problems gaining a work permit; rejection for his permit also prevented him a move to Oxford United later in the year. He started the 2006 season with Miami FC in the USA, only to be released after a month because of disciplinary problems. After two years with Portmore United he rejoined Arnett in the Jamaican National Premier League during the January 2008 transfer window. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Onandi Lowe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
