It was in the summer of 2006. To be more precise, it was June, 10th, as the oldest player at the FIFA World Cup became it’s greatest hero. Wikipedia mentions his heroic actions as follows:
He was instrumental in securing a 0-0 draw against the heavily favoured Sweden, making several saves, even with his team down to ten men for almost the entire second half.
That’s pure understatement! We are talking of Shaka Hislop, who should have been nominated as World’s Best Goalkeeper (instead of Gianluigi Buffon, who didn’t have to save as much in the whole tournament as Hislop did in three games), the goalkeeper of the soccer team of Trinidad & Tobago. Coming from soccer to library blogs, but staying in T&T, we want to introduce to you Jennifer Papin-Ramcharan, our next LibWorld guest author. She’s working as an Engineering Librarian on the St. Augustine Campus at the University of the West Indies. Trinidad and Tobago.
