Blatter, Warner called for hands

MEXICO: An unusual call for “hands” was made on FIFA president Joseph S Blatter and CONCACAF president and FIFA vice-president Trinidadian Jack Austin Warner before they left Mexico City, following the host nation’s victory over Brazil in the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2003 final recently. The result was not a free-kick but a place in posterity, in the museum of Mexican football and the national museum. Both of the world football leaders were required to leave behind their hand prints, pressed firmly into a tray of plaster for 15 minutes, and then to be properly prepared before being permanently displayed at the museums.
