PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad, , CMC- Former Caribbean Junior table tennis champion Gordon Delph was laid to rest following a funeral service at the St. Theresa’s RC church here on Wednesday.
Delph, also a former national player and coach, lost his battle with brain cancer at age 56 last week.
“Gordon’s contribution to the sport of table tennis has been tremendous over the years,” declared Trinidad and Tobago’s sports Minister Anil Roberts.
“He inspired many with his style of play, represented T&T across the Caribbean and the world, and turned into a thoughtful and respected coach when his playing days were over”.
Delph was crowned regional under-17 champion in 1972, and was also a standout senior player, winning the National Championship men’s singles title seven years later.
