 What the feck did the author of the Trinidad pen pics think he was writing for in his description of Doyle Griffith ~ a damned Sale of Slaves Catalogue? That's got to be the most shameful sentence I have ever read in any football programme, let alone a Torquay United one!

That's got to be the most shameful sentence I have ever read in any football programme, let alone a Torquay United one! It makes you wonder if this was written by a white, colonial-style official of the Trinidad FA. Certainly this was the period when the West Indies cricket team was still captained by white players.

Some pictures from www.ttfootballhistory.com. The first claims to be a picture of the Trinidad team prior to the game at Torquay (Newton Abbot railway station?):   |
