****Remembering Richard DeSouza****

I had much respect for Irving Shillingford and he is a deserving candidate.


However if you had to just go on numbers you will have to favour DeSouza.


However Irving carried on his FC career where DeSouza did not.


Another one of my favourites, although a bit later was Parry.


Did you ever see DeSouza live?

Start one and I will be the first to contribute.


I was close to QPCC and still am to an extent so many of their players I was amongst, some more than others, as I grew up and before leaving.


So I have a greater affinity for Carew, Davis (Brian and Charlie), Durity, Faria, Murray, Bartholomew, Corneal, Julien, Uncle Willie, Inshan, Gomes brothers etc. You will remember in 69/70 Wes Hall played for Trinbago.


There was a guy later on called Harold Joseph who was the second of the mystery spinners. I really liked him.


So Irving was less of an interest but guys like Rowe, Austin, Chang, Bacchus, Baichan, Timur, Foster, Mathis (some of these guys different era).

This thread should be Locked and start over ..

Chin a cripple from childhood Could NOT have played Cricket.

Alter ego Socafighter , a Scottish woman from Trinidad could not either !

So why are they on the PITCH ??

Chairman should by their OWN admissions , direct them to a site for people :

whom could NOT have played this glorious game , regardless of personal circumstances  ::LOL::

We are back on track with the cricket talk maestro........


Thought you gave him a tko last night??


lol.


Mappappee is about to start a thread about Irving Shillingford cousin of Grayson.

which one the Shillingford was the spinner?  I remembered the Babu used to put lash pun he! 

Must be Irving Googs as Grayson was  a medium pacer.

all of these are not great players..a few very good indeed.  but they were all loved by the Trinidad public.  some were white, others mixed, some black some Indo...but all loved.  you know that Mail....especially Carew.

Willie was loved but n a different way.  he wasn't rated as much as Carew but he was respected.  I personally on what I know of him and his work in cricket, consider Willie one of the finest men to have been associated with the west indian game

indeed we can start a thread about quite a few of them including Shillingford, Joey, Willie and the Davis Bros

Grayson died here in Toronto a few years back.

reaaly nice fellah and quite a womaniser 

Chin , were you molested by Cricketers while in that wheelchair ?

reason i ask is that you sound like a bitter woman ... :-[

How many men plantain molested you in that chair , Chin ?

I know you were traumatised in Jamaica !

Did the local Trini bwoys repeat  ?

tell the truth ...
