Author Topic: Your Most Memorable 'Old School' match (Read 8057 times)

pardners · « **on:** March 20, 2006, 02:48:55 PM »

Recent threads on the board about past players and where they are now, brought back some real good football memories for me.

So I want to know... what is your most memorable 'OLD SCHOOL' game whether is for SCHOOL, CLUB or INTERNATIONAL ?
For this case 'OLD SCHOOL' will have to be defined as any season prior to 1991....because ah know some men would want to talk about the Strike Squad days.

One of my most memorable games would be 1985/86 Sando Tech vs Arima Snr. at the HC Stadium.
Those old enough would remember that year Tech boasted 11 national youth players...men like...
Leonson, Latas, Sutton (Russel or Ricardo, ah does get tie up with the two brothers), Ainsely Weekes, Sean Walkes, Marvellous Marvin Faustin, Gill, 'Nip', Anthony Clarke (who was at the sweat the other day) to name a few....
Arima was boasting the likes of Timothy Haynes and Kerry Jamerson (later strike squad) and others...
Anyway, game going down to the wire and scores deadlocked...then Faustin, who coulda play anywhere on the field...back, front, left, right...didn't make no difference, same poison...come charging down the right side, cut in towards to 18yd box from the by line...keeper rush out to cut off the angle...kinda half expecting Faustin to cross the ball since the angle cut off...but leave about a 9 inch space between he left leg and the near post...ent yuh know Faustin go put it right in the hole

Crowd start to bawl....

Later that year, the same Tech team play the Defence Force in an exhibition game. DF was the undisputed national champs at the time. DF win the game one nil, but had to play they arse off to get the goal late in the game. DF team at the time had men like Roderick 'Rambo' Gibbs, Bertran O' Brian, Seales (a short redman from the coast guard), Sutton (the older of the brothers).

The big clubs in those days were TRINTOC, DF, CIVIC CENTRE and CARONI.

Yep the Big 7 and Intercol finals of 85 with Sando Tech and Arima. It was 1 of them that Sando Tech won with 10 men as Dexter Gill was send off. That was SSFL you just use to go to school to meet to go to football. Those were the days.

1979...John D vs Fatima. Intercol North Zone Final replay.(John D won the first game 2-0 in the Oval, but Fatima protested claiming that the ref played the game 5 minutes too long during which time the first goal was scored)
The replay was on CIC grounds..John D down by 3 goals with ten minutes left tied the game. Total madness...fans converge on the field...overtime could not be played so they had to replay the game again.
Big Up!!! to my John D squad...one of the finest squads in the history of the colleges league.
Errol Lovell; Clayton Morris; Alan (Peru) Anderson; Garfield De Silva; Brian Haynes; Chris Pugh; Brent Cummberbatch; Wendell Ferguson; Shawn Annizette;Mercheson Jules; Ramos Carmona; Novell Gittens ;Curtis Riley; Castillano; Lester Parris; Kendall Reyes; Terry St Louis; George...
Of course the coaching staff-: Brigan; Nat and Ken Henry
Serious nostalgia yes!!!!

Fishs: I really want to keep my identity private because of some of my opinions on other polls...nothing personal, but let's just say that the police horse did not trample my foot when the madness break out. The back up keeper George had to be treated because the horse run over his foot, that's how close I was to this game. I do believe that I have most, if not all of these fine brothers' names correct.

Benedicts - Ptown 98 or 99 (ah tink) Intercol Final (or was it South Zone)

Allyuh men is real kicks boy...ah really like the naratives. I could remember hearing about the JD vs Fatima game too. Controversy went on for a good while after the game.

I know some men would be of age to know back in the days when we had the TTFA and TTFF was the break away federation. I was too naive to really care what was going on at the time. Anybody out dey have any of details of what went on that cause the split ? I remember teams like ASL with Brian Williams pulling out of TTFA.

Chris Sloan Seal was the man name. from South. Good footballer played for Hurricanes and then went to the Army.

He is a boss coach just as he was a boss player. Boss!! I believe he coached the national under 15 team back in 1997. Him and Lester Young from Joe Public. He is not doing anything now but just spending time with his family. Trinidad and Tobago needs him in their youth system.

Let me suggest a lil correction, the biggest crowds in Aranguez in hem times you talking about was always MICO and Survival, hands down.. how yuh go leave out Survival??? and with maddee s the feferee, yuh never know what go happen next, Maddee used to give man red card before the game start.

Yuh absolutely right about Narcotics and Organs real big side, used to pull real crowd, when nuts man and the pie lady sell out yuh know is real big crodwd.

VB: Thanks for the articles, I have the John D one s friend sent me when it was published. The first replay of the trilogy I believe is an all time classic. I have a colleague who recentlt told me that as a youngster he was at the first game at the Oval, and when he saw John D play he became a footballer that day...determined to do all that he could so that one day he would wear the Maroon & White.
With all due respect, Fatima had a serious squad too.
