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).

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

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."
