Mr. Bertille St. Clair's Coaching School celebrated his seventy-something
birthday this weekend. Now I know many people are dismissive about coach and talk bad about him, but from what I know, Tobago really owes a great thank you to him. Without his vision Tobago would still be the cast-off of Trinidad. I remember when Signal Hill won those Intercol and Big 8 championships, us Tobagonians had a feeling something big was about to happen. Hence my celebration of many years of service and determination by a man who really deserves our respect and admiration.
Thank you Mr. Bertille St. Clair for all you have done for Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago and by extension the Caribbean.
And we must never forget....
1991 U-21 World Cup-
Trinidad and Tobago becomes the first english-speaking nation to send ANY football team to a FIFA World Cup.
This team was made up of at least 5-6 Tobagonians including Dwight Yorke and was coached by Mr. Bertille St. Clair.
History (in this case) will never lie.
Lata and blessings.
