On today’s edition of #FlashbackFriday we ask the question: Who is this handsome heart-throb? Well, it’s none other than the legendary Naps Master Roy Jagroopsingh. While many remember him in the latter years as a sports master, teacher, dean and a mentor, in 1961 he was crowned Naparima’s Sports Boy of the Year excelling in Cricket, Football and Table Tennis. The following was written by Mahadeo Omar Dubay in the Olympian 1962:
 
“Roy Jagroopsingh entered Naparima College in January, 1957, and immediately distinguished himself in the field of sports. In the Inter-house athletics competition, he emerged champion of the Class IV group and his stage for a very colorful career in sports was set.
 
From 1958 – 1960 he represented the College in the Junior Intercol fixtures. In 1958-1959 he also played cricket for the junior team. His promotion to both the senior football and cricket teams came in 1960 and since then he has maintained his place and proved himself to be of exceptional ability.
 

    Sorry, photo gallery is empty.

 
Roy’s prowess has not been only on the cricket and football field, but it also extends to Table Tennis. In 1961 he was both the ‘A’ class and singles champion of the college.
This year his career rose to new heights as he led the College Cricket XI to victory in the ‘A’ division of the Senior Inter-College Cricket League. This had been a personal victory for Roy, whose determination has pulled out his team from many a difficult situation.
 
There is no more fitting person, to whom the award for the best all-round performance in sports could be given, than Roy Jagroopsingh – a dogged fighter and a graceful loser.”
We salute you Roy!
