  • The Story of Football in Trinidad and Tobago 1893 -2000
    The Story of Football in Trinidad and Tobago 1893 -2000 Chapter One Kick-off THE Trinidad News and San Fernando Gazette of June 6, 1893, was not at all happy with what was happening in the Trinidad society during the year. The paper reported that there was growing corruption among the youth in the colony which was the direct result of the invasion of Government offices as well as stores and estates by strangers from the United Kingdom. In its editorial entitled ‘Agricultural pursuits,’ the paper noted: “What with the invasion of government offices, of stores and sugar estates by strangers from the mother country, more particularly from Scotland, and what with the growing corruption of our young men by frequentation of places of evil, gambling halls, dignity balls etc, our youth of the better classes are in a fair way of becoming a nuisance to themselves and their country, instead of, as in other countries, forming the main factor of the moral, intellectual and physical wealth of their native land.” The paper continued: “It would be knocking our heads against a stone wall to find fault with Scotsmen who now have the dry goods trade and the management of sugar estates mostly in their hands because they send their poor relatives or friends from Scotland to fill situations of emoluments under them. We believe our creole youth to be brighter than the young strangers who are imported to occupy posts which of right, should be theirs and with the knowledge they have of people, their ways, their language and their wants, they would certainly be more useful.

The result meant the South Americans finished top of their group, while New Zealand finished the tournament unbeaten and above world champions Italy. If New Zealand had scored, they could have gone through. Unfortunately, they didn’t once trouble the Paraguayan goalkeeper. New Zealand’s ‘keeper was his team’s hero again as he kept out a few goal-bound shots. The best of these was from Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz. As the clock ticked down, New Zealand and the teams in the other group match, Slovakia and Italy, were still unsure who would go through at the final whistle. A goal from any of the teams could send the others out. It failed to come in this match so Paraguay went through as winners.
