bies and all, had been living for some days in a cramped hotel
room.
Our captain ordered champagne and we checked whetherthe
rabbis would approve of the composition of our meals.
What type of player was Mr. Harisson in AFC 14? If you watch
the BBC on Saturday evenings you see almost 20 (goalkee
pers excluded) equals: aggressive, always driving forward,
with a great set of lungs, perhaps with less attention to tactics
than Dutch players, who always try to imitate that other AFC,
Ajax. But that is snobbery. When Mr. Harisson put on his hair-
ribbon in the changing room (for his, in all other respects, per
fectly neat executive's hair style), you could be certain that so
mething was about to happen. And indeed, in each game he
showed at least one action from the forceful British tradition.
And that action made it clear once again to all inside and outsi
de the field that 'voetbal' is the best game in the world.
Alannever mind that you were late now and then because you
could not find sombre Geuzenveld or Osdorp. Many thanks for
all your efforts, good luck to you and your family, and do keep
in shape!

IS AFC 14 STRIPPING ITS ASSETS?
Why is it that AFC 14 seems incapable of keeping its most ta
lented players for more than one or two seasons? In the last
couple of years our biggest stars have left for Japan, France,
the United States and what have you. Some of them even ca
me back, but all of a sudden preferred other sports, or were ta
ken by older and more 'royal' clubs.
On Sunday, February 28th, we lamented the departure of our
most appreciated left back/half, Alan Harisson. Serious snow
showers preventing all matches i n our AVB league that day, we
met at 10 a.m. (promptly) at the Brasserie Van Baerle for a so
lemn farewell breakfast. More players attended than on regu
lar Sundays. In fact, we missed only two: incoherent student
S.I. (we look forward to cakes and pies again!) and stopper
F.J., whose isolated KNSM Island probably was cut off from
Van Baerlian civilisation. Mr. Harisson confessed to being
glad that this team camaraderie offered some distraction: in
view of their moving to Hong Kong, the Harisson family, ba-
GEACHTE LEZERTJES, DAMES, HEREN OOK, AFC-ers
Is de wende daar. Ik bedoel ook hier? Ik was een paar weken
geleden op AFC. Een druilerige en trieste zondag. En wat zien
ik? De stoom sloeg er van af op het veldWinst zonder voetbal
gezien te hebben kan ook tegenwoordig. Een werk-
overwinning met 1-0 op Stormvogels was het resultaat. Zou
den die opbeurende woorden van I.H. Galavazi toch werken?
Ik wil er wel in geloven, want je moet toch wat, nietwaar. Er was
weinig publiek maar met diegenen die er wel waren heb ik vre
selijk gelachen. En helemaal met het ploegje wat zich om Ger-
rie Smit heen verzameld had. Wat heeft die een charisma op
z'n oude dag en wat staat hem die bordeau gekleurde jas bij
zonder goed en dan die sigaar in z'n hoofd waar hij zich con
stant in verstikte. Klasse hoor. Wat ik ook zo'n fraai trio vind en
