ON LINE INTERVIEW- BILAL COOVADIA
Jislaik it. The Gnkotts & Gminty Post is causing Roctions. I have decided that with a soccer interview I must include a Thunnie Interview with the greats of Yesteryear and see what they have to say as well as get the owes feedback from the up &comers, former legends etc. Todays interview will be with Bilal Coovies better know as BER LAL. This oke started campus when I started and he has ranked with the greats, the hazrats, and the jabus. I posed some questions to the oke and here goes
swoosh: I think its a good time to intro these questions. As a great Thunnie Player of your generation what can you really say about the GKNOTTS & GMINTY Post. It seems to be generating alot of controversy.As who the best is?
berlal: GKNOTTS & GMINTY would be classified as amateurs. They would probably rank as non-league players trying their luck in the FA cup. Who is the best is debatable. Besides myself , I would rank Shaka & Ridwun among the better players
swoosh: Who do you think was the Pele & Maradona of Thunnie IN UR TIME ?
berlal: Probably Ridwun as he was a thinker and had a mouth to intimidate the likes of lightiesWho was the biggest hiding you dished to on Campus in ur days – Too many washes and kaniks (no call among my greatest) to talk about.Did u ever wush or 20 kanack some MUGGS – Plenty times
swoosh: How do you think Gkotts & Gminty/ or you guys would have faired against the greats, like Shaka & Rid one, Mollies & Ballie, Nielan & Sivenesan , Saleem & kaveeer, BIG MOH & Zoobair, and the many others? berlal:I played with these okes and held my own as well as dished out quite a bit.
swoosh:What happened to you guys that year,.Who knocked you owes out.?
berlal: After the final against Zee and Wasim, I retired a champion, got married and had kids.
swoosh:Those were the days u must agree. U think the lighties at Wits Today are in those leagues. What is the standard at Wits anyway. Have you heard ? If GKNOTTS & GMINTY are champs, I must say that gone are the standards.Who are the f/((ken Podolskys and Ronaldinhos or they more like the Jabu Pules & BENNI'S. Do you think you will find any owes in the class of MANICHE.(ALWAYS UP FOR THE BIG OCCASSION) OR the Owes like CAFU, working /and maaling for long hours down the right wing?
berlal: I don’t know who is aspiring towards this now, but in our time we had Jabu and Benni and gang.
swoosh: Lastly Owes are calling for the big one. Who will u take into battle with you and u think the owes should get together and host the Mother? The f&*ken World Cup OF THUNNIE? I MEAN KABEER GOOR WANTS TO ORGANISE DEGS & S&I% AND MAYBE PUT THIS GKNOTTS & GMINTY CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE TO REST ?
berlal:This would be a good idea if you can round up all the old boys to show some of these lighties a thing or 2THANKS ....U were indeed a legend in ur time.

Thanks Bilal Coovies, You were indeed a legend. Well let the comments roll. Look out for the other interviews of other THUNNIE GREATS .

I was never a great exponent of Thunnie,
ReplyDeleteHowever my greatest achievement was the day Zunaid "PORRA" Miya and i, rank amateurs in the class of Yeoville Town and Cork City, took on Baboo and Waseem, greats in their time.
They were being drubbed 9-3 till a gust of wind came along and blew the cards away.
With the wind came the rain and the game was halted indefinitely, to this day a winner has not been declared.
Mother nature and her elements conspired to rob us of a true fairy tale ending and one of the greatest upsets of the modern Thunnie era.
Confirmation can be obtained from Porra and i'm pretty sure Zee and Azee were witness to the carnage.

ReplyDeleteThis is a hotly debated issue but nonetheless I shall give you 1 experience of mine. I would not say that it was the greatest as we were playing the Jabu Pules and Bennis of our time (i.e. Zee Mayet and Wasim Koor). Had we played better opposition I would think that it would have been more memorable.
It was the 2000 final when Joe Moolla and myself wipped Zee and Wasim on the library lawns.

the problem with the old generation of Thunnie players is that they could never admit that the so called jabus and bennis revolutionised the "beautiful game" on the steps of the great hall. we created a flair and panache to the game which could only be dreamt of by the old ballies, who have reverted with what can olnly be dubbed in the great words mumbai carrim, as sour grapes.
ReplyDeletei agree with zee mayet ('ma partner) that we let the cards do the talking and put the lid on the claimers.
waseem
Thats right Wasim.... we introduced terms such as the "finesse"
ReplyDeleteFor those that don't know "finesse" means "skillful, subtle handling of a situation, refinement and delicacy of performance and execution"
You can only resort to using the "finesse" once you have PERFECTED what to others is the norm....

ReplyDeleteThe banter between the toppies and young guns is quite entertaining but proves nothing.
It's like debating between Pele and Maradona, Megan Mckenzie and Kerry Mcgregor, Owen & Luke Wilson.
But unlike the above debates this one can be settled.
Swoosh tell Kabeer we can't wait for 2010, this one's gotta be settled now.
Organise the Dhegs and let the games begin.
seth
I just have one comment for Zee and Wasim….
ReplyDeleteBoth of you okes said that let the cards speak for themselves and I do believe that on that beautiful sunny day on the lawns they DID speak when you lost the game

Past tense buddy, like Brazil in the last world cup.
