The name Polly signifies for me a man of complexities. High spirited huge brain wore it well-low key. When we met the banter was incredible he could talk you out from culture art music & sports.
In school he was a furious competitor especially in Goal. We always competed for that position & were members of the Victorious team that won the NBI Primary School cup.
He was objective & neutral on match reports. The only time I read his bias reporting was the explosive contest with Kenya/Uganda, when the match was abandoned. His reporting jumped out of the page for me.
Polly not only wrote about football & hockey, he grew up on it breakfast, lunch & dinner his skills honed on RGI & fields of DRGS
Regret life will never be the same again without him, particularly for the rest of the members of the family
I have known him virtually from cradle to his passing away.
