Russell Nigel Latapy CM (born 2 August 1968) is a Trinidadian retired footballer who played as an attacking midfielder, and a coach. In a senior career which spanned more than twenty years at both club and international level, he played in Portugal (eight years with three clubs, most notably Porto) and Scotland (eleven seasons representing four teams, including Hibernian, Rangers and Falkirk).
Latapy gained 81 caps for the Trinidad and Tobago national team, and appeared at the 2006 World Cup.
Born in Port of Spain, Latapy was first noted playing organised football at under-10 level. As a youth he played in the Trinidad and Tobago Secondary School's Football League, and was called up to the national under-16 and under-19 teams.
When he was 19 years old, Latapy had an opportunity to attend Florida International University, but he chose to continue with his football career. This decision was supported by his mother despite the fact that in the 1980s very few Trinidadians were noted to have had careers in the sport that allowed them to earn a decent living.
