god bless huigi. can't believe he has passed on.. a gentle giant who never had a bad word to say about anyone. It was a pleasure to play with the big man. I remember him scoring a vital winner for us against olympia. The sheer delight on his face when he scored knowing he did it for his team, not himself. That was the mark of the man
