The tale of Jalmaro Calvin, a young man from Antigua and Barbuda, born on 30 June 2003, certainly bears retelling. A somewhat fresh face on the Scottish football circuit, Calvin has yet to celebrate his 23rd birthday. His primary position on the pitch is that of a forward, though he is particularly adept to challenging the defences from the position of a left winger.
Calvin is currently plying his trade for St Mirren, where he tends to unsettle the opposition with his impressive agility and speed. This is compounded by his stature, which may first seem unassuming. At 5ft 8in (about 1.73m for those of a metric persuasion) and 11 stone in weight (or around 70 kilograms, if we stick to the standard of our European cousins), his low center of gravity can be a constant pest for defenders. To spot Calvin on the pitch, one just needs to look out for the number 17 jersey swirling across the green sea.
Noteworthy is the length of his contract with St Mirren. Having 1 year and 11 months run left, Calvin is set to continue his Scottish journey until 30 June 2027. What the future holds beyond that is anyone's guess, though his current trajectory has him poised for ever-greater performances.
