I just came back from the airport. It was truly remarkable to hear the sound of the people screaming for the warriors. I've never heard anything that loud before. The chants wouldn't cease ,even the formal ceremony was drowned out by an ocean of audible sentiment.
"Sancho ,Sancho, Sancho" we shouted in support of the dred locked defender.The horrors of Kaiserslautern errors were erased by the fantastic reception at Piarco.
Carlos' name was sung in a manner commencerate with his performance "Ole Ole Ole" substituted for "Carlos, Carlos..... Carlos". I can only Imagine how he felt
I looked up and I couldn't find Hislop moments later "We want Shaka, We want Shaka" was the cry. He appeared and the over exuberant crowd was appeased.
After the skipper introduced all the players including Silvio Spann the PM spoke. Even he wasn't that bad -he understood that the night was for the warriors and no politics to corrupt the pure stream of joy that football brought to the nation.
