Re: [Goanet] Golden years of Goan sports *correction*
Hi, Earlier (1960-63)... there was Joffre (Menezes?), who was good at the high jump where the head went up first... It was when Fr Joseph Casti (prefect after Fr Moja) used to teach martial arts... for the school sports. Anyone remembers Nishti (Vincy D'Souza, from Anjuna, brother of Joseph D'Souza and Teddy)... they said that he would swim like a fish. Cheers. * * * Was life in the *kudds* glamourised? Who said, "It appears that the Goanese (sic) are a roving people, prepared to go to any part of the world for well-paid employment"? How did Goans find their first toehold in the Gulf?

Re: [Goanet] Golden years of Goan sports *correction*
Matari it is. The name came about when Francis joined Don Bosco's, Panjim. At the begiining of the school year (circa June mid-60s) Mr. Domnic, the PT master, asked the newly-joined students to present themselves. When it was Francis' turn, Mr.Domnic asked Francis which school he came from - the quick staccato reply came out as "Matari" (he actually meant Mater-Dei, Saligao). The name stuck ... There was another Francis who was nick-named Chikki (a good high-jumper a la Fosbury flip) , and yet another Francis was called "Battli" (as in battli futtli). Both these guys were boarders at Don Bosco's Panjim, originally from Bombay...

Re: [Goanet] Golden years of Goan sports *correction*
Another correctionFrancis D'Souza was 'matari' not mausi. My sincere aplogies to the Lotli Mausi! Lets hear some of the other favourites: there was Nicholas, Soccoro Coutinho, Domnic of Saligao, Prakash of Vasco Club etc. There were the two great football goalies, Vivian and Arvinder Singh from the glory days of Vasco Club. Arvinder is still around and one hears him lament the state of football today. I think he would scare the best of strikers even today with his frame and his glare!! Aye, how can one forget the women starsElma D'Chuna, Yolanda, Susan D'Souza, Deepa.they pretty much excelled in many different sports...hockey, football.. ote: > "Mausi" or "mhatari"? > > On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 9:25 PM, Pandu Lampiao wrote: > >> **Correction** >> there came Francis D'souza (the >> original mausi) >> > > * * * > > UK STOCKS EXHAUSTED!

[Goanet] Golden years of Goan sports *correction*
**Correction** there came Francis D'souza (the original mausi) and the great Mauricio Alfonsoa Requelme of the old days, fine tuned by Bob Bootland (?) to be a classic mid-fielder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJuhOVj6h6w * * * UK STOCKS EXHAUSTED!
