Not only were the Conner and Cuthberts great players they also assisted in the deliquency of a certain youth....getting me into my first beer garden.  |
Here is me saying using spell check!! It is the Connor family!
I do recall that event at the Burnaby Canadians tourney the year we (Clan Alumni) with you on the side beat Metro Ford in OT in the final off two Alec Barnetson throwins for goals to win 2 to 1 if I recall the score correctly.
You were in the beer garden guzzling beer while John Connor and I were listening to your dad say how classy our team was!
I also recall being directed to call the parents of all you young JV guys (by Jim Easton, Sr, the SFU JV coach) to make it clear that the rookie night was not something he and I sanctioned and that there would be alcohol for sure, etc. You guys - Slater, Sumner were all in Grade 12 and we thought for sure there'd be trouble with parents but all we got was rave reviews from the families - go figure.
Imagine Bertrum how far your soccer career could have taken you but for alcohol?
