RE: Jamaican Cjinese Footballers

I did a brief scan and saw some names thatI had heard about from Cornwall but they omitted one that might have been the best ever Chinese player from Cornwall...Junior Chin.

I heard he was a a star from about 14 years old and scored some wonderful powerhouses at the DCup level even at that young age.

Pity none of his sons carried on the legacy...Lincoln Hew's son was in my class in first form and he kept Under 14 before migrating to canada as did a lot of the Chinese students in the mid -70s.

RE: Jamaican Cjinese Footballers

I did not mention Junior Chin this time, hoping to see if someone would recall my postings on him, he was relentless with a hellofa shot, there are currently no ReggaeBoyz with that shot, those were the days outside the box shooting was the norm. I was wondering if Bobby Chin was his dad, If I can recall he use to deliver patty in a van.

There are also Chinese that played for Rusea's, Hanover Parish, Mostly the Ah Young family, there was Shrimpy (Ah) Young also Ho Sang for Sandy Bay/Hopewell.

BIM Williams of St. Georges was from Grange Hill, he also played for Westmoreland.

I recall that their was a place called the Chinese Athletic Club onNorth St close to Duke St., there could have been a basketball court there too.

Do you notice how these guys were multisport and for the most part crack the book.

BTW Thanks for the response.

What a piece of bull****, this article! How in the name of anything worthy can you have an article about Chinese Jamaican footballers and omit the name of one Jermaine Hue?!?! This belongs in the dump, and I will let the writer know.

Wasn't that club secretary Cecil Knight a track star? I seem to remember that name from the Boys Champs history book that was printed.

Bim - Started Stylo! ...that later became Reno. I understand he is living somewhere in South Florida and still owns or is majority owner of Reno?

RE: Jamaican Cjinese Footballers

"This belongs in the dump, and I will let the writer know" I just want to let you know that I am not the author. Obviously only current football news makes you comfortable, I am surprised somewhat, I guess in a couple of years Tappa's namewill be out of your memory bank.

Did you also notice he left off Junior Chin too, or that is too far back, sorry I can't agree with you that Jamaica football began with Reggaeboyz(N). The JFF should have this chronological history on their site.

I wont mind reading the writers respones to you of his historic article.:Laff:

RE: Jamaican Cjinese Footballers

No, there was a Anthony Hill that played outside Right for Rusea's in the 50's, Peter Massey, Karl Marsh(Dr Marsh son) goalie, Lloyd Jackson, Frank Brown, McKitty, Mickey Ralston..

Ronnie also represented Jamaica in

Ken East was a ball artist, back in Penna days there was some sort of friction between him and the coach, so he got drop from the team, I last saw him in Brooklyn.

RE: Jamaican Cjinese Footballers

Bim owns 97% of Reno and Palla Wilson, Downswell and Boysie each owns 1% but all that is just paper as it means nothing, Bim has not put a dime in the club in years.

RE: Jamaican Cjinese Footballers

There was this Chinese guy who is now a Nuclear physicist in Texas who was also a Jamaican governmnet scholar in the 1950s and also a Rhodes scholar who played four seasons of DCup for Cornwall and rumour has it that he was never injured once all that time.

RE: Jamaican Cjinese Footballers

Well, him really mean Munro. Munro has not won anything since either theearly 50s. Just imagine a few generations of Munronians not knowing the thrill of winning daCosta Cup? Damn!!! :w00t:
