Glasgow renews call for Grand Stand to be renamed after Sparrow

Vet­er­an pro­mot­er Randy Glas­gow has re­newed his call for the Grand Stand at the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah to be re­named in ho­n­our of Slinger “Mighty Spar­row” Fran­cis­co, months af­ter first propos­ing the trib­ute.

His ap­peal comes as Port-of-Spain May­or Chin­ua Al­leyne re­vealed that the city cor­po­ra­tion’s cau­cus is ex­pect­ed to dis­cuss ways of ho­n­our­ing the ca­lyp­so leg­end, whom he de­scribed as part of the cap­i­tal’s lifeblood.

In a pub­lic state­ment, Glas­gow urged re­newed con­sid­er­a­tion of the pro­pos­al.
