IFA Programmes
spice Wrote:talk about a blast from the past. seems that most people on this discussion a few years younger than me, but a lot of my old clubs seem to be coming up all the time.

I started off playing for Marist, from the u14side. Cant for the life of me remember why we went to Marist. Sevenoaks was in the side(someone mentioned him earlier) as was Morisson and one of the best goalkeepers ever to play in SA, Craig Finlayson. My best mate John Fraser also played (his dad Jock Fraser trained us later) and other names I recall were Bunny Hiddenscock, Clive du Toit, Robbie Sydow, etc. Our biggest rivals were Clyde Pinelands, with an amazing player called Glen something or other that I played with later at Cape Town city. Made my way into the first team about 16yrs old where I played with Kevin Barnes, John Fraser, Albert Tallotti,(he spent the morning before a cup final which we won against Defence I think, praying in the church). Talking of Marist boys, also played under Kenny Lynne for Western Province and he told me how his doctor would allow him to go watch Cape Town City, but would not let him watch Marist, that's how crazy he was about the team. O, just remembered another name - Taffy Bowen.

I also played for Sea Point Boys high, in 74 and 75. I read the names of some great players who played later, but we had our fair share of good players e.g. Avrom Sank (amazing player), Kevin Byrne,Brian Wexler, Mark Goodman,Myles Schneider, and we were the first to play the curtain raiser before the cup final (highlands park were playing in the final). We beat Hill High 3-2 in the final after being down 2-0 at half time and spent about half an hour in this great roman bath after the match. They had to chase us away as the teams were coming in .

In IFA soccer I played for Greece until 1980 when I left SA. Remember a semi final against Switzerland when we lost to a goal from Wilf De Bruin. I was heartbroken. Played against Italy many times and they had a great player, Pepe Garguilo we were together in the senior W.P. team and at City for a while. Mikes sports was the Caldis family. Played with Manos and anyone remember Peter tricks Du Toit. The Dewhurst brothers were all still playing though I missed the great Greek team of the 60's and early 70's.

Thanks for bringing these amazing memories back guys. Also if anyone could send me some ifa programs, would love to see them. My photo might even be in some older ones, as I used to captain Greece in those days.

Would that spice be Spillios Fassios then? You played in the same team at Marist as my uncles, John and Bernard Hayes I believe. Shaun Buchanan and the Goble brothers should have also been on their way through the ranks thn.

Kenny O'Lynn trained us at Marist in the under 14's as well, is the Glen you refer to from Clyde perhaps Glen Newins?
