Chance Meeting with Cikgu Bujang - Part 2

.
After all that football talk with Cikgu Bujang, Edmund went ahead to search for photos of the football heroes from that 1973 Inter-School Champion team.. He wrote in his email ...


"Saw this photo in one of the blogs and thought it would be most appropriate to put a face to the names of 4 of our football heroes who brought glory to our Alma Mater .... but don't know why Bro Columba was more concerned with brushing his hair than looking at the camera !




Joseph Jinggut (Captain of the victorious team & brother of Datuk Justin Jinggut )

Dennis Liew or "Gordon Banks" as he was nick-named ..... only let in 2 goals throughout the entire tournament (according to Cikgu Bujang) - lost contact with him since then.

Abdillah Adam - (Pengarah, Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia Kampus Batu Lintang)

Abdul Rahim Colex - ( ED/CEO of CMS Cement S/B, brother of Sazali Abdul Rani, Class of 75 )

Hope some of our Seniors will read this and assist to fill in the remaining names and hopefully provide us with the photographs to complete the story ...

Cikgu mentioned that everyone was so excited about the victory that they forgot to take photographs. All he had were memories in his head. But I would rather think that cameras were a luxury in those days and not easily available. Now...we have camera phones...affordable cameras...how blessed are we ! 

I was also told that one of our seniors - Chang Kuo Cheh - had scanned the old copies of the Ad Astra and posted them on his webpage. But I was unable to find it.....can anyone help on this ? - he's the elder brother of Robert Chang (Class of 76)

Hope more news/photos will come our way as we try to re-connect Josephians from around the globe.
Over to you, WSJ and thanks for another great effort."


Most welcome, Edmund. Thank YOU for the info and photo.

  1. Liew Meng Kee standing behind my sis Ruth. I can still remember him as our History teacher in 1974 (Form One afternoon class)- he was so strict then. The last we met by chance was in Genting (2005 or 2006). I could easily recognize him because he's ageless, haha!
