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."

oh shim Observer :rotfl: ...so it wasn't just in fete-match den...tun d pic, lemme see if ah make'im out.. :devil:
-
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 ;D
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.

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. :D

Nah breds Tech get ban for years for having the overage players, the tech team used to read like the national team and had men 20yrs old . Ah think Monty Douglas was one of the overage players ah could be wrong.

Many of the CIC players from 1970 and 1971 went on to do pretty well in life. The following is a partial list of the guys and their lifes path.

Garricks disease. In his later years, he coached womens soccer in Trinidad.
Keston Nancoo He is presently a vice president of a major insurance company in Trinidad. He was the interim chair of the T&T Carnival Committee in 2007-2008.

-
Fishs,
I can't even remember all of them. We never used to take team pictures. Our sport program was at the lowest. We were a government school and we did not have tractor to cut and roll the grounds at one point. We had to borrow on from Geo V. I think is David Barrow, "goats" Allen,Steve Jacobs, Charles Wilson, Steve Williams, Wayne LaPierre, Ken Davis, Alsstrom??? Well of course, Mike Grayson.

Ian "Nello" Nelson was the goalkeeper he now in Oklahoma a computer analyst I think.His brother Lem Nelson was a big player for QRC in the mid 80's.he now own a big garage in St James.

Asylumseeker,
I cannot remember Howard playing Philadelphia Textile in Shaka's time. Where was the game played? If he did appear to twist in mid year, I am sure he moved from the ground.

Yes I think it was Philly Textile, alright. I saw that game on campus. It was a nail-biter. We win on pks. Shaka was outstanding that game. Philly Textile is now Philly U, In the 70s they were a top team.

Guy was QRC gk in 72. We went to north inter-col final and lost 1-0 to Tranquil. Iconic free kick from MacIntyre. Guy saved well for us that season. That was my only intercol final. It was bitter sweet. Tried two other times and lost to Tranquil in the semis. He did get a scolarship to Dartmouth or Brown the next year. He was also a good hurdler. I saw him in NY panorama this year. Still the same Guy. Just a little greyer.

Philly Textile without a doubt. BIG GAME!
The save I'm referring to was HUGE. Howard was defending the goal @ the Cramton End. right about then, there was a lot of lateral movement of the ball by PT, but no significant penetration. Then came a well-struck ball from distance. To meet the ball, Shaka was airborne and committed to his right ... and extended.
The ball in flight seemed destined to end up on the side to which he had committed ... and, his reaction appropriate ... THEN, SUDDENLY, the ball deviated to the left ... top shelf, almost left V, but not quite.
Shaka contorted and propelled himself from being fully committed to his right ... to digging de ball out from his far left. Before he hit the ground, de cameramen were busy. Flash-flash-flash-flash. Prior to that, I din even know dem men was at de game.
Nail biter fuh sure.
I remember that game because it was the moment I knew Shaka was destined for a bigger stage. Good, good talk. It was phenomenal. Very emotional game (and dahis using a Yardman barometer).

Darkers....what become of Mr.Best..he still writing he news articles with Kwame??
-
Asylumseeker,
If it is the same match I am thinking of, Shaka did have a fantastic game. As Deeks said, the game came down to penalities, and Howard won on the kicks. I am pretty sure Shaka scored a penalty. By the way, Shaka was a deadly outside player too.

I saw him in NY panorama this year. Still the same Guy. Just a little greyer.
Story time:
I only played 2nd 11..Mr Best saw it fit to punish me for disrespect in Spanish class, by not running me out 1st 11, even though I was top scorer in 2nd 11. That year, the 2 strikers for us was myself and Gray.
actually ah lie, he put me on a 1st 11 match against Tranquil, and the ref kicked me off, cause Earl forgot to put my name on subs list. The entire supporters crowd(including whole ah Belmont) found it quite funny, especially as I was the only player with the old washout uniform.. :laugh:
I didn't let it stop me..the final straw was against Belmont Inter. Semi,in the Oval. I was told to warm-up, game was close...whole 1st half I streching, sprinting, then at the half, he subbed in Gray, and somebody else...was it u Deeks ? and told me to continue warming up..Meanwhile all meh partners heckling(including Watap and Andre, Trev)...well I broke down then...I went up in the stands...and that was the end of my football in TT. We lost on pks to belmont..Jap, LaForests, Wayne Lewis etc..our Team was the Barrow brothers, Butcher brothers, Thompson brothers, (there is a game with brothers), Jumba, Gray...that's all I remember..I didn't have the skill of most players then, came later, i was just fast
add about punishment: In Spanish class, he was benching man for unruly behaviour, I had a headache and put my head down on desk...He say situp straight, but me an meh fass mouth, say " This ain't no army papa"...He say "Take the bench" - meaning get up on the bench...I say " Take it, and put it where, sargeant"...ah get cane from Garcia for that..and it was downhill for me after that, especially when he became 1st 11 coach...get cane 4 x & suspended 2, that last year..I was young and foolish, but had fell into a culture at the then QRC of free period, and just not caring...another reason why my parents off me to this Cold-ass country, where I discovered how good I could have been in TT...and decided then it was not to late to wake up. Spent the next 35 yrs trying to get back, but alas now, not feasible
No regrets how things turned out doh....definately was for the BEST ...lol...nuf respect still...he was one of my hero ballers along with Sheppy, Sheldon Gomes, Rolf Clarke, Mac, Springer brothers..Guy & myself competed in High Jump..found him to be super cool and very encouraging, mature beyond his years....don't mean to highjack Saints thread..Glad to see my Saints friends in pics and story still.

nah, I was just fast, I just had a talent, but wasn't a good athlete..I actually discovered I was a better footballer, just to late for TT.
It took a race against Crawfie, Harvey Glance & Steve Riddick to really show me, Track wasn't for me...Although, deeks could attest Grayson gave me an early warning...I knew I could never do what it took to be that fast.
I turned to football fulltime then....anyway, I admired all you guys(my stars, cause I knew you) back home..especially the Boulevard crew.

I remember Maxg, he was 2 yrs above me. We did play 2nd XI together. I always remember the freak goal (a la Roberto Carlos) he scored on Gregory Gomez in an encounter at our grounds. Max running down a ball down the left side. We taught it going out. But with speed he catch it close by the corner flag and swing the left foot. It was a hard cross and a bit high and Gregory misjudged, all of us misjudged thinking it going over bars. But the ball ride the cross bar and ended up in the net. We won 1-0.

Judging from this thread Tranquil had a boss side back in the day.
What ever happened to them to be a non factor for the last 30 plus years.

Tranquil always had good players. All their good sportmen used to transfer to QRC, Saints and Fatima. When they got promoted they had an inspirational coach in Roderick Warner. They had Mike Wiley, Hashim Khan who later went to Fatima, Haye, Neil Clauden, Coker, Dexter Faustin. Then in my time they had Tom Philips, Curtis Murrel, Lakhan, Rudy Williams, McIntyre, Artie Arjoon(GK), Keith Weekes(deceased on Tues. RIP), Dane Williams, a guys from Woodbrook named Alvin. They were a hell of an attacking team. After Warner went QRC, they never got the type of players as before.
