As one of the accomplished clubs in
Toronto it was strange how Players club
had never participated at Iere soccer
tournament.. Some said that the tourna-
ment committee may have took it for
granted that most of Players’ members
played for Iere but records show that
that was not the case in the earl eighties
Players had applied to Iere Tournament
Committee (writing) in 1981 and never
received a response. With a name
change to it was Spoilers which was
accepted.
Many believed the delay to the
application was because Players club
was run by Aldwyn McGill who had left
Iere while others suggested that the
two clubs seemed to have had the
same members and that may have
posed a problem to Iere team in their
own tournament.
History shows that Spoilers became the
only team to have won the Iere
tournament in three successive years
(‘93 to ‘95) while Iere has never won
their tournament and Aldwyn McGill
reached the final six times and won it
four times. But when asked to comment
on the subject Mr. McGill failed to
respond as if it was not a problem.

“I can’t say what the problem, between Iere and Players was, but
what I can say is that you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone outside
the original core who have contributed more to Iere as far as Boat
Rides, Dances, Bus Rides and putting the club back on a winning
track than I did ... And it is not just with Iere I’ve contributed my
winning ways to, youth teams, senior amateur teams and even
professional teams. So just maybe you’re asking the wrong person
for comments on this.” McGill said
