Joe:
Yes indeed! it brings back find memories. When I heard of his death, the best memory that came to mind was a final between Walidan and Real, of course there were lots of those kind of matches. This particular game, in the dying minutes Captain Sibby with a bicycle kick - a volley for the winning goal. Joe, this is the kind of rememberance that you can only get from the experts at James Senegal. Not only did we listen commentary from the likes of Saul njie, but Grand Lie Jow as well - "La calification the Senegal sur la pied de Boske."
Fond memories indeed
