‘We love you, Coach Ziggy!’

When Copeland “Ziggy” Lewis, a Jamaican football coach in the United States marked the incredible achievement of 200 lifetime wins recently, even the defeated opposing team stood still and watched as he was celebrated with a heartfelt pre-recorded video.

For Lewis, who represented Jamaica internationally at the Under-17 level, the seven-minute video, which featured rival coaches, his family in Jamaica, his son who is away on duty for the military and lots of other students, family and friends, came as a complete shock.

“It was a big surprise. It was the biggest surprise I’ve had in my life because I had zero idea it was going to happen,” he explained.
