We all in uproar over the last few days with Jamaica,Nahkid,Samuel,Zamora etc.Fellow posters these things doh matter when destiny is in your hands.It doh matter how much obstacles are thrown our way once we doh loose focus victory is ours.it has taken us three decades...ah whole generation to reclaim our rightful place in Germany.When we beat Bahrain,the Gov't should give dat '74 squad a free ride to Germany.Everyone including the media local and foreign talk about '89 because that's as far as their memory goes.But not getting to Italy was our fault,mistakes we made administratively and tactically.Not getting to Germany'74 was the fault of some corrupt officials who were later ban for life.I laugh as I see what's happen now to distract us,it(they) will not prevail for victory is ours some thirty years in the making.

wow...the only man i ever see play on that list is Leroy Spann... nice post Royal

Observer · « **Reply #7 on:** October 24, 2005, 04:17:49 PM »

With the exception of Tesheira everyone is still alive on the 73 squad
Flex / Tallman have a pic of that squad
Saw everyone of them play and even played with some.
One or two names are missing as well.
Spann was not on the final trip to Haiti because of suspension.
DeLeon had a falling out with Verity and did not go to Haiti
It would be nice to gather and honor both the 73 & 89 squad before the game

I was thinking of the irony just the other day.

After getting robbedin 1973, how ironic that when we finally qualify it would be for Germany again.

Peace,
VB

yes sweet baller, he could pass a ball anywhere. Royal would remember him with Milan. Some big match up wid Milan and Valiants and Hurricanes in the SFA. Peter Mitchell was also on that 73 squad that played in Haiti. When dem two bounce up on a field is like who could out do who . good times that yes

Warren "Archie" Archibald used to school ah bunch ah we youths down Carenage (back when I was ah youth). He had ah side in ah small goal competition in L'Anse Mitan and used to ORCHESTRATE. I remember him holdin ball with nuff man tackling him,and he pointing and tellin youth-men, "run dey so," and as yuh run in de space, is BAM, ball on yuh foot, then he movin and sayin to yuh, "hit mih here." And dat lil side used to beat people.

Archie was ah good brother. I suppose still is. Last time I saw him was about 5 years ago, went to his house in Carenage with my lil brother.

Pointman · « **Reply #15 on:** October 25, 2005, 01:43:13 PM »

Well Royal, as a native of Point Fortin(hense the tag) I can tell you that several of the players on the 1973 WC qualifying team I knew personally as they too are from my beloved home town. The following are native Point men:

Wilfred"Bound to score"Cave
Steve David
Warren"Laga"Archibald
Leo "Twinkle toes" Brewster

Pointman · « **Reply #16 on:** October 25, 2005, 01:44:08 PM »

slates · « **Reply #19 on:** October 25, 2005, 02:26:55 PM »

Point, I not sayin de man was not from Point. But de man lived in Carenage at one time. And while there, he schooled Carenage youth men, including myself.

Cool boss?

doc · « **Reply #20 on:** October 25, 2005, 02:36:14 PM »

Are you sure it was Warren, or Abdul, or Bede? Ah think Warren has been in the States since his NASL days in the late '60's.

Pointman · « **Reply #21 on:** October 25, 2005, 02:57:15 PM »

Yeah Warren lives in NYC now. Slates ah was being defensive breds, I cool.

Observer · « **Reply #22 on:** October 25, 2005, 03:57:56 PM »

I think Milton aka Abdul had a place in Caranege. By the way both he and Bede was deadly as well.

Tesh died last year. RIP big man

Pointman · « **Reply #23 on:** October 25, 2005, 04:02:29 PM »

Thanks Observer, I didn't know that about Russell. He was a fantastic player. He will be missed.

Oz · « **Reply #24 on:** October 25, 2005, 04:15:51 PM »

In de early stages of CONCACAF qualifying, I was in the Orange Bowl in Miami to look at the Haiti vs Jamaica first round tie. The Haitians in the crowd were talking about the game being their first big step on their "return" to Germany. I remember thinking "It should have been us in Germany. This is OUR DESTINY".

Doh worry people, God doh like ugly. If ever there were a time for poetic justice, this is it.

Pointman · « **Reply #25 on:** October 25, 2005, 04:23:40 PM »

Hey Oz, dem older Haitian ha real respect for Archie, whenever I talk to dem bout 74. Dey does jes giggle but they real respect Archie. I was thinkin de other day about 73/74 when we came close. ah was a lil boy from Point and remembering how somber de mood was then when dey tief we and seeing dem men who we look up to being so dejected, well hear we go again and ah real feeling de positives dis time. As dey say " de tird time is ah charm" dis is we time!!!!

This team and the one dey tief in '74. Dem fellas beat Mexico, put 5 on Haiti and get tief. They deserve to go to Germany this time around to let the World know that this is the second time we qualify for the World Cup. I propose that we get sponsors for EVERY MEMBER of that team, to furnish them with airfare, tickets , accomadation etc and most importantly full TnT warriors kit, to be at all the games in Germany. It is time to right this wrong. They did us proud then and I think they deserve no less.
