Junior
Some say how one conducts themselves on the polo field says a lot about who they are as a person. Gentlemen are sometimes in short supply in our sport. Even more rare is the person who brings out the best in others on the field of play. Seldom again is it to see that person influence a son or daughter who then displays the same attributes. Junior accomplished all three. He was a gentleman, a sportsmen, a mentor. A man in his seventies who if underestimated was going to carry the ball between the posts and score consistently.
A vivid memory for me was siting with Junior at his farm after a competitive game of polo and watching him skillfully open half a dozen coconuts. Several of us then sat there on the grass quenched our thirst and shared his bounty. To me this was the true measure of the man. He died the way he lived. A humble warrior out collecting grass for his rabbits on the land he loved with his boots on. Legend.
