On
a recent visit to Jamaica, I was given the opportunity
of an exclusive tour of the Harbour
View Football Club(HVFC) facilities.
Impressive was the first thing that came to me
as I was shown around the complex that I as a
boy growing up in the area we referred to as Compound.
Harbour
View FC was established in 1974 and has grown
to become one of, if not, the premier football
organization in
Jamaica. General Manager, Clyde Jureidini spoke
about plans to strengthen the management and administrative
structure of the club, continued upgrade to the
facilities and improved strategies in marketing
the club. In addition he expressed their commitment
to relations within the Harbour View community
and adjoining communities and their desire to
building international alliances in the Caribbean,
North America, Central America and Europe.
Over
the years, HVFC has had the services of some of
the top names in Jamaican football and had three
of their players, Peter Cargill, Onandi Lowe,
and then a 19 year old sensation, Ricardo Gardner,
represent the Reggae Boyz at the 98 World Cup
in France. Ricardo Gardner went on to become the
club's first million pound transfer as he was
picked up by English Club Bolton Wanderers where
he continues to play. Other top players to have
worn the colors of HVFC includes Milton Griffiths,
Clennon Clarke, Altimont Butler, Luton Shelton,
Damani Ralph, Robert Scarlett, Fabian Taylor,
Keith Kelly, Sean Fraser, Akeem Preistley, Damion
Stewart and midfield maestro Jermaine Hue.
Mordan
"Mordy" Brown, a senior member of the
club, gave TheReggaeBoyz.com an exclusive
tour of the facilities which can house 24 players.
Along with a well lit full size field and well
maintained playing surfaces, there is a player
lounge, a well equipped gym, first class changing
areas for home and guest teams, sleeping quarters
and their own laundry facilities.
In
addition to many local championship wins, HVFC
was the first Jamaican club to win the Caribbean
Club Championship and to also advanced to the
CONCACAF Quarterfinals where they loss to DC United.
This game was shown live globally on FoxSportsWorld.
