MORE THAN a GAME

by Sylvester Young

  ‘Nutten stays the same, man,’ said Frank. ‘There ain’t no ‘stop’ or ‘rewind’ button fe life, jus ‘play’ an’ none-a we know how long de tape ’as to run. It’s de same wid Sabina Park Rangers, dem reached de hend of dem tape, man. Look, Horace, you an’ dem took tings forward fe black players, maybe not as far as you wanted, but dem mek steps in de right direction. But it-a time now fe someone else to tek more steps from where you stop. Man, it-a long walk an’ me an’ you nah ’ave de time to see dat journey finished.’ Horace took a while to flick through the scrapbook and pore over the cuttings. He reread the headline ‘Sabina reaches final with wonder goal’ and could not help but savour that sweet moment of victory just one more time. ‘A long way from finished,’ he said softly. And with that he closed the book.
