When boycotts against blacklists worked:

"For these five games our three players: Woodley, Leiba and Nancoo, had been looking on bitterly from the substitutes bench, and although a fight had been going on the Ministry of Education stood firm on their resolution not to let the boys play although they were re-admitted to classes. The players of the team, then took the situation into their hands and an ultimatum to the Sports Master, Mr. Khan, demanding that their team mates be allowed to play or there was going to be a boycott of the game against San Fernando Tech. by the entire team. It was decided that they should play after some wrangling and it was a shocked and pleasantly surprised crowd which saw the dramatic, unexpected appearance of the "defiant ones", as they were dubbed by the press."

Observer,

To my recall, not many goals were scored on him.

Maxg,

Keep quiet! I do not believe you ever beat him in a game – not even one played in Tranquility school yard.

I remember a time when Leiba make a 'U' turn in the air to save a goal. But I never did figure our why he was diving in the wrong direction to begin with

Those were good days oui!

I also remember going to the church to prayer before the matches. A setta a non-Christians and Christians in a RC church ...

Pecan,

Many people remind me about that save of me turning in mid year. Maybe I should keep the myth alive that I did turn in mid year. However, I must admit I did not turn in mid year; I was very much on the ground. When I coach young keepers today, I tell them about that particular save and the importance of being on the ground, having good balance, and using deep knee bending in order to change direction quickly.

What occurred – Leroy Spann struck a shot that deflected off Keith Lookloy. I was moving to the left, and due to the deflection, I had to dive back right to make the save.

Trevor all joke aside you were a boss keeper. It is a pity Tech. of that era was unstoppable. Who could forget the Tech. QRC game at the Oval. Dam! What an exhibition. St Mary's though had a nice balanced squad and could have been more competitive were it not for the ban.

TC was similar to arrow. He dealt almost exclusively in one-liners.

Lets be honest if you were to check every school in T&T in dem times you would have found an overage player. It may still be so.

True ... but when you lose, you often find external reasons to help off-set the disappointment.
