Elvis Defreitas

[Krooner]

Many congrats to Elvis who I think is an unsung player for Guildford. Both I and Teffers thought he was outstanding on Saturday for Guildford and to be called up to play for his country in the World Cup is fantastic.

 

Good Luck to him.

Which Country?

 

Edit - Quick google search gave me the answer, Barbados.

 

I see that he already has 16 caps.
