Sporting Highlights -Trevor Fernandes
Zanzibar & Seattle
Dad for being my first coach.
Zanzibar: Thanks to: Accu, Agnel, Amyot, Anthony Mendes, Anthony Miranda (Ref), Ceasar, Cajetan D’Silva, Gajendra, Lenny (Ref), Oliver, Tony & Ralph D’Sousa, Tony (Nick), Wolfango, Dr. Barton, Ahmed Idi, all school & men’s teammates and all whom I may have left out, for believing in me and supporting me through my young career in Zanzibar.
Goa (India): Frs. Arnold, Ephram, Terrance, Chrysostom & Wilson Paes. Mike D’Sousa (Dhempo Sousa) and all St. Anthony’s Monte Guirre School players & students.
Bangalore (India): Allan McBride, Fr. Sequeira, Mr. Das. All my college teammates at St. Joseph’s and Bangalore Universities. V. Peters – Mysore/Karnataka State. The first time that Bangalore Univ. had ever won the All Indian University Championship. That’s when I scored my double-hat-trick against Benares University, first 6 out of 7 goals.
Combined Universities: Balkishan Singh. I was the highest scorer on Aussie tour – 15 goals in 5.5 games.
India Seniors: Balkishan Singh, Udham Singh, K.D. Singh Babu, R.S. Gentle, Ajitpal Singh(capt), Jose Gonsalves, Jimmy Nagarwala, M.P. Ganesh and all those I may have forgotten both teammates and coaches.
Seattle (U.S.): Special thanks to Mervyn (brother) who brought back my passion for the game after 3 years of playing only soccer. My first team in the US “Rye Mixers” sponsored by a beer company went unbeaten in the Berkeley Tournament (playing 3 games a day, for3 days). It had international players but what surprised me most was the way the European players (mostly Dutch) on our team could drink and still play well. We were 3 Fernandes brothers (Mervyn, Trevor & Hector). United Bothers/LA, Junghi, Pali, Hemat, Suki & all the rest of the team, winners of California Cup.
Thanks to: Hector, Desmond, Beryl, Ramona, Thom Bangasser, Richard Casmier, Simba Soccer Team and all my teammates in Seattle Hockey Club. Sorry I don’t have any pics of our Seattle Team but would love to add them if any of you have some.
U.S. 1984 Olympic Team: Allan Woods, Moin Iqbal, Gavin Fertherstone, Lee Yodder & all teammates.
Thanks to Terrell & Tiara (son & daughter) for helping me put these pics and articles on PowerPoint.
Please use the “zoom” at bottom right corner to increase the font to better read the articles for they are in small newspaper font are old and faded.

Hello Trevor
Thank you for providing a biography of your accomplishments and a record of this from numerous sources. I was Mervyn’s classmate and over the years I have post contact with him. Please give him my warmest regards.
I know he lives in Brentwood, LA and many years ago I stayed with him during my regular visits to the USA from Australia.
A very Happy Christmas and New Year.
Adolph
