Cyprian Fernandes: Alu: The Last Post




Briefly, Tari at the GI wake for Alu: Hi Cyprian. I mentioned in my short speech that Alu was one of our greatest heroes.  I had the honour to play with him three Olympics Games and he was my coach in the first World Cup in Barcelona 1971 where  Kenya finished 4th in the World. He was great sportsman, great father, great friend, and was loved by all in hockey circles and, of course, by the Goan community and worldwide. He sailed the ship to great heights. We will miss him. God be with him, and rest his soul in eternal l Peace. God Bless all.
