SJCS ZANZIBAR SOUVENIR BOOKLET

Dear SJCS Members

(Please note this posting has been released after obtaining permission from Janet Fernandes).

As we all know, we have had a few good high profile SPORTSMEN in ZANZIBAR and amongst one of the very best was the late Tommy Fernandes who was an all-round champion right from sprinting, football, hockey and cricket.

We all know how famous Tommy was with his great SOGAS (jokes) and as such we would love to add some of his jokes in the Souvenir booklet plus some of his sporting photographs.

Dear members, if you remember some of Tommy’s Sogas, please oblige and forward to Joe de Lord. Also if you have photographs, please forward ASAP.

Some of us Cable & Wireless guys have some real sweet memories so all you guys we look forward to your contribution.

Janet says, in some cases we should not use names of parties connected to the jokes. This we will honoured.

Another name that stands out is our famous GOALKEEPER who represented Zanzibar on several occasions. He does not need any introduction but for sure we can remember one of the wonderful Goalie’s dive which was spectacular - a touch of DELAYED ACTION. Dived after the ball went into the net. (If Agnel was in London, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea would be fighting to sign him on).

The sensational photograph was in the newspapers – only wish we had a copy so if any of you have some photographs of our champion goalie AGNEL DE SILVA, please forward to Joe De Lord. Agnel was also a very good hockey player so all photos appreciated.

Let’s not miss out on the good Sports Ladies so all postings welcome as we want a sports column in the Souvenir booklet.

P.S. Just a few weeks ago I met up with Janet at Tony and Shirley de Lords home and you will never believe this. Janet entertained us with some great jokes where I was in stitches. I never laughed so much, and talk of Tommy’s jokes, Janet could fall in line. All good sogas (jokes) welcome especially those connected with Tommy Fernandes our all-round sportsman.

Folks – Do not miss out with your personal posting for the Souvenir.

Many thanks.
