| Sport Division | Daily Express | Sport News | 'Bittersweet 50' | Hasely Crawford was thinking about sacrifice as he waited for the blast of the starter’s pistol, moments before the 100 metres race that would change his life on July 24, 1976. Crawford received the nation’s highest award, the Trinity Cross. In 1996, the National Stadium was renamed Hasely Crawford Stadium by then Prime Minister Basdeo Panday. Sadly, though, the man who brought so much joy to this nation exactly 50 years ago has not always felt respected in his homeland. Among the slights Crawford listed was not being invited to national awards ceremonies. | https://trinidadexpress.com/sports/local/bittersweet-50/article_2722ccc5-4276-421c-8116-fedb2684d10a.html | |
