Getting into Camden yesterday was tougher than gaining entry into the White House as the world’s most famous trophy was put on display for Government officials, dignitaries, Bermuda Football Association officials and members of the public.Security was tight as the World Cup arrived in Bermuda yesterday as part of the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour by Coca-Cola with Bruce Barritt, general manager of John Barritt & Son Ltd, welcoming the travelling delegation to Bermuda.For people like former professionals Clyde Best and Kyle Lightbourne it was an honour to stand next to the trophy along with the likes of Premier Craig Cannonier, Opposition Leader Marc Bean, Governor George Ferguson and former BFA presidents Dr Gerard Bean and Donald Dane.“This is one of those days that you will remember for the rest of your life, especially for myself,” said Lightbourne who was a member of the Bermuda team that enjoyed a good run in the World Cup qualifications in 1992, the same year he turned professional in England.“It is a dream to one day play in the World Cup and one day even the final, but for us from Bermuda we know that is a long shot. I can imagine how people feel to actually win the trophy, that must be an awesome feeling. It is a beautiful looking trophy.“We (1992 team) were maybe two rounds away from qualifying for the World Cup proper, but it was an exciting time then and today brings back memories of what it is all about. The world revolves around that one trophy and I hope the young kids who get the opportunity today to see it and get their picture taken with it cherish it because it may never come to Bermuda again.”He added: “Now Bermuda is producing some really good young players who are overseas and looking to make it in the professional game,” he pointed out.”Clyde Best was the most successful of Bermuda’s football exports, playing in the English First Division with West Ham United from the late 1960s to 1975. Being up close and personal with the World Cup trophy yesterday was an occasion he says he will long cherish.“This is the closest I’ve ever gotten to the World Cup trophy and it is a pleasure,” said Best.“Anybody who knows football knows the importance of that trophy and I wish that I had the opportunity to play in the World Cup. I played in the qualifiers for Bermuda but it wasn’t on the main stage, it would have been nice but it wasn’t to be.‘I think I played (in the qualifiers) in 1970, I had just gone over to England and came back. After that there wasn’t much going on. But today is a nice day, not just for myself but for the country and the kids. Football is the greatest game in the world and does so many things for people, it breaks down boundaries, stops wars and you get different cultures playing together and hugging one another and it’s nothing like it.”As scores of people waited for their chance to get a picture taken with the trophy, which will include hundreds of schoolchildren before the day is done, Barritt expressed pleasure with the way the event unfolded.“There will be several hundred here before the day is out, having their picture taken with the trophy. We had a draw and names came out of the drum and we had 300-odd youth football players registered with the BFA who are going to be here as well,” said Barritt.
