In the Zimbabwean sporting scene, our golden hockey girls were preparing to conquer all at the Olympic Games, Langton Schoolboy Tinago was schooling all before him as a Commonwealth boxing legend while on the soccer front, John Rugg was bringing early success over Zambia at the Independence Cup to a newly formed Zimbabwe team brimming with talent in the form of Oliver Kateya, Sunday Marimo, Shacky Tauro and George Rollo to name merely a few. On the airwaves, meanwhile, we were privileged to hear Tommy Ballantyne splendidly bringing the game to us in our living rooms as if we were literally in the VIP seats at the stadium. Those were some of our unbelievably special early Zimbabwean sporting memories.
