Life at KC was full of events that entertained, educated and shaped our lives in a manner that, like history, is worth repeating. Meetings of the Florida KCOBA chapter occur on the last Saturday of every month from 4-6pm and from 6pm til..... At these meetings, old boys recount endless stories between bites of Freddie Mills ' delectable delights and imbibing a beverage or two:
Football practice was prolonged into the twilight hours as George T toiled with developing the skills of Devon 'Dread' Anderson who in an attempt to 'run on' to a through ball collided with the goalpost and was heard to exclaim to reserve centre-half Phillip Chung, " Charlie, yu tackle firm eeh!!"
The Pomp and Circumstance surrounding the entry of then KC headboy at Champs 1970 regaled in a Purple robe and a Crown.... Kingsley Cooper strongly suggesting that this is a "Kollege" for Kings!!
Mikey Holding striving for excellence bowling relentlessly at a single pin at cricket practice and hitting the mark quite often.
The initial domination of schoolboy table tennis by players like Glen Bowlin with that dynamite forearm smash and that steady backhand chop from Keith 'Teddy Booms' Martin that wore down opponents.
A third former who transferred from Titchfield in 1970 opening our eyes to literature and history from Africa and later became KC's best School Challenge Quiz performer and only 2 time winner..Orett Campbell.
Howie Bell 's sideways bicycle kick to silence the Trench Town faithful in 1970 with the best Manning Cup goal I've ever seen.
The late Owen Bruce 's electrifying 800m run in the Medley relay at Champs 1972 lifting the KC spirit forever.
Balfour 'Bally' Reid's unbelievable calendar year (1975) in sports featuring a 100m record of 10.4 seconds and 'holding off a hamstring pull' to also win the 200 meters spearheading another victory at Champs to that unforgettable goal, a 40 yard cannon on the perfect through pass from Michael Ratty' Edwards in the Olivier Shield finals in 1975 vs. Vere Tech.
