Did you know that Guyana once held the record for the widest margin of victory in a qualifying group match at the CFU level? Guyana’s 14-0 demolition of Anguilla in the 1998 Shell Caribbean Cup was eclipsed when Martinique crushed British Virgin Islands 16-0 at the Stade George’s Gratian at Le La Mention Martinique on September 08, 2012.
The French heroes were striker Kevin Parsemain who netted 6 goals, he received admirable support from Stephane Abaul and Jordy Delem with double each while Gerald Dondon, Steve Gustan, Jacky Berdix, Djenhael Gaetan Sidney and Alex Balmy scored one goal apiece.
Looking back at the Guyana and Anguilla historic clash at the Antigua Recreation ground in St. John’s in April 1998, the lads from the Land of Many Waters created history with that 14-0 trouncing of the hapless Anguilla.
Collie ‘Hitman’ Hercules was the star with four goals, Omali Nassy and Jermaine Scott
Charles Pollard
fired in a hat-trick each, Randolph ‘Blackhead’ Jerome chipped in with a double,
while Shawn Wong and ‘John’ Wayne Milo hit the network once each.
