Aaron Lawrence (born October 10, 1968) in Jamaica was a professional footballer, he has since retired. During his career he played as a goalkeeper.
Aaron played the whole of his career in his homeland, he played initially for Violet Kickers F.C. and spent the most part of his career for Reno F.C..
Lawrence had been a member of the Jamaica national football team for a little more than a decade. His role was primarily as backup to team captain Warren Barrett, until one memorable performance in 1998 at the World Cup finals in France. Starting in Jamaica’s third and final game against Japan, Lawrence shut out the relentless Japanese attackers until late in the game when one snuck by him. He nevertheless protected Jamaica’s slim lead and ultimate 2-1 win over the Japanese.
He attempted to secure an overseas contract with a European Club but it proved futile, but the player has emerged as Jamaica’s first-choice keeper and had hoped to lead the Jamaica national football team to another World Cup appearance. However, with the emergence of Donovan Ricketts, the under twenty-three goalkeeper at the time, Lawrence never managed to fight his way back to the starter’s position.
The 'Wild Boy' was a tall, athletic and fleet-footed professional. Although there was perhaps room for improvement in his positioning and handling of balls crossed into the six-yard box, but in his defence he is known for pulling off spectacular and timely saves when it mattered most. His vast experience proved useful time and time again for the Jamaican national football team in those tough away games.
