Football / Sancho back!!!!!
« on: December 08, 2005, 11:34:56 AM »
I told you guys to remain calm. :chilling:

Looks like Brent's all set to play on Saturday against Port Vale. :duel:

The article is very politically put - but basically our new manager is a bit of a nutter - has sat down told the chairman he was Sancho in the team - and got his way!!  ;D

So we've got our warriors back together. Likely to be Cox and Sancho playing together at the back!!

Go Gills

Go Warriors

Football / Yorke Dreaming of World Cup Glory

Yorke dreaming of World Cup glory
By Jonathan Stevenson  (BBC Sport)


Trinidad & Tobago striker Dwight Yorke says helping his country to qualify for the World Cup would be the crowning glory in his successful career.

Trinidad meet Bahrain on Saturday in the first of a two-legged play-off and Yorke, 33, says the country is buzzing.

"I've been very fortunate to win great things with Manchester United, but the ultimate would be to qualify for the World Cup finals," he told BBC Sport.

"We all just cannot wait for the game and no one is more excited than I am."

He added: "It is an absolutely massive game for us, they both are. It's an amazing time for any country, let alone our tiny little country in the Carribean.

"It's an amazing achievement just to be where we are but for us the job is not done yet.

"We have put ourselves in a very, very strong position and we want to capitalise on it.

"These opportunities don't come along very often in one life, let alone Trinidad & Tobago's.

"It's the biggest stage of anyone's career. The World Cup is the biggest spectacle in the world, more than the Olympics, there is so much to play for."

Yorke ended an unhappy spell with Birmingham City in April and signed for Sydney FC in the new A-League, which kicked off in Australia in August.

With the Socceroos themselves facing a World Cup play-off against old foes Uruguay, Yorke admits it is a crucial time for the sport in Australia.

"It's no secret that for the league and the sport in this country to progress we need the Socceroos to do well," said the Trinidad skipper.

"I would definitely like to see them in Germany next year but it's not an easy task.

"Uruguay are an opponent they are familiar with having lost the last time around in a play-off, but you look at the Australia side and there is a lot of talent there.

"I definitely think they have got a good chance but they have to make sure they all turn up on the day and they don't need me to tell them that.

"Look at Mark Viduka, one of the best strikers around when he's in form, Harry Kewell, Lucas Neill, Brett Emerton - they're a strong enough team to get the right result.

"It's a two-legged game and it can swing both ways and hopefully they can do a fantastic job and we will all be celebrating at the end."

Yorke believes representing his country at the World Cup finals would be the perfect way to cap off his career.

"I'm 33, I never thought I would represent my country on the highest stage at a World Cup.

"Growing up as a kid this was what you wanted most. It would be the most amazing thing in football for me."


GOOD LUCK WARRIORS
GO SANCHO

Football / Sancho larging up T&T at Gillingham
« on: September 28, 2005, 04:01:31 AM »
Goal hero Brent Sancho was delighted to score his first goal in English football and spoke of his World Cup aspirations.

 
Sancho: Harbouring a lifelong World Cup dream
 
Talking to BBC Radio Kent, the Trinidad & Tobago international said, "It was good to score and we kept a clean sheet defensively which was important.

"We've been letting in goals and it felt good to keep a clean sheet more than anything else and it was a deserved win.

"I gambled with the goal, the cross was brilliant and there wasn't much for me to do except glance the ball in."

Sancho will play for the Gills against Southend this weekend before jetting off to the Caribbean to prepare for the first of a crucial pair of World Cup qualifiers.

Talking to the official club website, Sancho couldn't hide his excitement at the prospect of qualifying for the World Cup.

"It has been my dream to play for them (Trinidad & Tobago) in a World Cup since I was a boy," he said.

"I was there last time we came close when we lost 1-0 to the USA in 1989. I was a ball-boy at that game. It brings back memories that we are so close. Trinidad is a small island, so it will be a phenomenal achievement.

"It is more than achievable and I cannot wait. We have got Panama away and Mexico at home. We need a win and a draw to be in with a chance, but two wins would be great. It is right there, and it is in our hands."

With Sancho and Ian Cox both in the T&T squad, many Gills fans are sure to adopt T&T as their second team should they (and England) qualify for the World Cup this coming summer. We all wish Brent, Coxy and the rest of the English-based SocaWarriors the best of luck in their upcoming attempts to qualify for the biggest stage of all.
