Jack or no Jack, if de football nice, de people will come out. No? Does dat answer your question about de golden era, Trini?
To a point. Buh lemmeh chook some fire here.
Wha else it had to do in dem days?
Serious.
How often peeps used to get to see Pele, Garrincha and Tostao dem?
To some extent you are right. Even cycling use to have huge crowds.
We were not as mobile with transportation etc.
Maracas and Mayaro was a limited lime, not every Sunday / weekend etc. and the community was tighter.
Every weekend did not have a series of fete, like now where fete have a league
or disco for that matter
Football on TV was limited to Star Soccer. as a matter of fact TV had one and then two channel and it did not come on till 6pm & off at midnight.
Youths now have far more distractions.
In dem days one ball was the only toy for a number of children in a small area.
Most other activities was physical
I surprise when I home and see filed empty between 4 pm and 6pm hardly seeing sweat., grass actually growing.
