  • Peter Espeut | The Dark Decades Of The JCF

    I was at the National Stadium on February 2, 1971, for the football match between Santos of Brazil and Chelsea of England when Edison Arantes do Nascimento – better known as Pelé – playing for Santos, scored the goal in the 1-0 win. I saw an enthusiastic youth invade the field to hug Pelé, and as he was being beaten with a baton by the police, I saw Pelé hug him to shield him and take some of the blows. I think that was a dark day for the JCF.

    In August 1999, Michael Gayle, a rephrase young man, was taken off his bicycle and beaten by policemen on the street during a cordon-and-search operation. He vomited blood in the police station and later died of the wounds. I think that was a dark day for the JCF.

    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.
