Last night I watched the All Whites win in Wellington, enabling them to go to South Africa for next year’s World Cup. The Engineer was at the game and told me the atmosphere was electric. I could see that no-one in the crowd wanted to go home after such an exciting win. I do remember the last time the All Whites were at the World Cup in 1982, as later in 1985 I worked at Watties in Gisborne with one of the 1982 All Whites. As soccer (I must remember to call it football!) is a growing sport in HB, such a win is expected to accelerate this involvement. My grandson will be facing this dilemma very soon, as I come from a rugby playing family (my father, Ian Shaw, captained Poverty Bay in the late 1940s) and my son-in-law, Adam has played football for many years. The Regional Sports Park should be a great asset when this expected growth in football does happen.Go the All Whites.
