I had the pleasure of working in the Bahamas in the late 1970's early 80's, and the renowned New York Cosmos used to come on the island every year for a month's pre-season training due in part to NY's inclement weather. They used to train and play on the company I worked for training facilities, and would play just about any team on the island while they were there. Had the pleasure of meeting and training with them. They were just about the biggest club in the world at the time, with Beckenbaur, Carlos Alberta, and of course our very own Giorgio Chinaglia.It was pre Pele, so never met him.Used to meet up with Giorgio Chinaglia for drinks occasionally, he remembered playing for the Swans very fondly- a bit before my time though.Warm weather pre season training definitly didn't do them any harm if you look at their results! Another great blog from you, looking forward to your next enthralling instalment. Come on the Swans!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
