Big mistake getting involved in this! Every name that I see reminds me of incidents. Its like Match of the Day in my head all day. I remember playing with a Melvin at Wynberg, but do not know if it is the same one. There was also a terrific player with me at Wynberg called Robbie who had a brother at St. Agnes in the senior side, he later transferred to Wynberg.
I played numerous times against Scotland but did not get to know any of them as I was only a youngster and did not get involved in the post match drinking get togethers. Liesbeck Park was their home ground was'nt it.
I got knocked out :dazed: playing Italy when I clashed with one of their notorious hard men, name escapes me but I think he was in mid-field. He had a brother who also played.
Israel were also a very good side.
Does anyone remember Pepe Dos Santos? Ex-Hellenic player, also had a band with his brother that played at the Clifton Hotel I think. I played for him when he was coach at Green Point. Good coach and I learned a lot while I was there.
