WELCOME TO CANADA
That is when I bought my
first car; a brand new
Pontiac Ventura and my
social life picked up as
have ride traveled.
My first big soccer
decision was when I
moved in with Anthony
Loney and his cousin
Junior Wilson in January
of ‘74. I had changed
jobs from the University
of Toronto (U of T) where I started two weeks after
arriving in Toronto to Northern Telecom (formerly
Northern Electric). And it was at Northern I met
Desmond Marcial and beyond work we discovered
we had a lot in common. We were both DJs
(Ghetto Soul and Power Cats) and soon afterwards
Winston and Desmond became my chief advisors.
They were also my strongest soccer supporters

After arriving in Toronto,
Canada in November ‘72 I
began to wonder if I ever left
Trinidad. Besides family
members, I met a lot of people
from the Morvant district where I
grew up in Trinidad.
One of the first persons I met
from Morvant was Winston
“Lover” Haywood. It was at a
party and from that time
onwards we stayed in touch.
In those days you had to adapt quickly because of the
cold weather. Transportation was not as frequent
which made moving around a bit difficult. I lived with
my sister Lucia (RIP) in the Sheppard & Birchmount
area which in those days was two stops away from
the end of the bus route and the last bus was near
impossible to work around, so, I began to look for
alternative ways of traveling around.
