National medals for entire football team
THE EDITOR: Permit me to join in the many accolades that have been bestowed upon our esteemed "Soca Warriors" for what is certainly the greatest sporting achievement in the history of the country, if not our greatest achievement ever. If we were to rank the various sporting achievements of this nation, the top five would arguably be: 1) World Cup qualification 2005, 2) Hasely Crawford’s Olympic Gold 1976 3) Brian Lara’s world records 4) Netball World Championship 1979 5) Ato Boldon’s Olympic medals. The significance of this single accomplishment cannot be overstated. Just look at the outpouring of emotion and nationalism after the victory. The scale of the celebrations was unprecedented for any event in the country. Finally, I would like to suggest that the Government consider awarding our highest honour — The Trinity Cross to Mr Jack Warner, Leo Beenhakker and Dwight Yorke. As captain, Yorke’s leadership role was exceptional. The remaining members of the team can be awarded the Chaconia medal. The precedent for this was set with Jean Pierre, the netball queen.
