Good Morning Guys,
My first year in QRC was 68. The CFL had real good plays. Bain, Henderson, Mathews, rolf Clarke, Sheldon Gomes, Steven Gomez, Husbands, st. Hill, Garcia, Brewster, Hackett, Texeira, Cooper, Clibert Lennard. 70-71. Peter 'Skippy" Mitchell(the best CFL player), La Forest(Len and Ron), Spann, Sutherland, Leiba, Neil Williams, Frankie Stone, Danny Williams, Cazimir Wright, Wayne Smith, "Wildman Ford, Mervyn Sirju(what ever happened to him), Gregory Martinez, Alvin Rostant, Nancoo, Barrow. 72-73/74: Tom Philips, Mike Grayson, Denis Cuthbert, Kenny Ramdoo, Lenny Afonso, Winty Hacket, Kendal Walkes(Progressive), Chinapoo, Robert Francis, Gerard Homer, Lakhan, Big Bird Brown(Belmont), Roberts(Fatima).
There may be some who I can't remember right now. Guys forgive me. The best of my time, I think was Peter Mitchell. How do I describe this guy? He was mercurial if there is such a word to describe a person. Skill for days. he is Latas and Jemmot rolled in one. You see them behind the foot pass Ronaldo from Man U does have everybody talking about, Peter could do that with both feet. He coming down the middle, passing he foot over the ball rapidly, Technical wingers and wing backs coming down the flanks. You don't knowwhich behind the foot he doing. Fustration with T&T football, Drive, ambition did him in. The south men on this post could give more info on Skippy.
The other player I want to talk about is Ronnie Simmons. I only knew when I saw him training with the youth many carnivals ago. Then I followed his career at HU and with Espana and the Diplomats. I wish I had 1/4 quarter of this guy's skill and physical attriubutes. He was strong. He had great ball control. Could dribble when he had too. Could bring the ball with ease from 6 yds box to the next 6yds box. Could kick the blasted ball with ease. Could you imagine Ronnie on the WC squad in Germany coming down the center from center back or md field and shooting them plastic balls they have now. When football taking place in Washington and man mention Ronnie. We does just get vex.
