Walter Boyd (born January 1, 1972 in Kingston) is a football striker from Jamaica who plays for Naggo Head F.C.
Nicknamed 'Blacka Pearl' or 'The Pearl', Boyd is an extremely gifted yet controversial player whose off field antics always appeared to get him in trouble. Yet, his behaviour 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 Arnett Gardens, Colorado Foxes and Welsh team Swansea City. While at Swansea he achieved the unusual distinction of coming on as a substitute and being sent off before play had even resumed.
He was capped over 60 times for the Reggae Boyz and played three matches as a substitute at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
