When it comes to football in Solomon Islands and whether it be international or national, there is only one name that is probably the most well known name of the many generations of footballers in Solomon Islands 'BATRAM SURI"
Solomon Islands in all our years in the top level in Oceania we are well known for producing some of Pacific lethal strikers and Batram Suri was no exception. He was exceptionally talented, well experienced and have a heart for his nation of Solomon Islands.
The local Solomon Islander who hails from Malaita is known for his very sharp techniques and advance thinking on the ball when approaching opponents. He always dazzles the defenders with his trademark over ball skill and his right and left power shots that he can launch anytime while running at a high speed. Batram Suri have emerged from the Central Islands for playing for them back in the days and have also later featured for Malaita Eagles in which he was incredible. The former Waimapuru student was a highlight all through his young days and have established himself in Nelson Suburbs in the New Zealand league. He has then played some very good years in NZ and gained a lot of experience that have really contributed to him as a player and also as an individual off the field.
Many supporters of the game in Solomon Islands who knew Batram Suri was a true Footballer didn't know that Batram Suri had to go through some knee surgery to keep him playing up to this day. The struggles this veteran footballer have faced to come up to the level is quiet remarkable and he has inspired a lot of footballers in the game we all love.
Batram Suri now is a coach and have been coaching Ifiri Black and also helped out with some of the youth national teams in their preparation. Wish you Batram a prosperous future in coaching and thank you for making Solomon Islands one of the top footballing nation in the oceania in your time!
