PELE FC star forward Gregory Richardson is certainly enjoying a fruitful season in the STAG Elite League and the player, who many know only as ‘Jackie Chan’, can now add the E-Networks Goal-of-the-Month Award to his growing list of achievements. E-Networks Inc; Guyana’s premier Cable TV, Internet, VOIP and 4G Broadband Service Providers, made a presentation to Richardson through their Marketing Coordinator Joublon Beaton yesterday.
The company is in the process of launching a new product, which will revolutionise Cable TV in Guyana and Richardson will be the first recipient of the service that is set to launch later this month.
Richardson copped the award after the media met and voted that his 87th minute game-tying freekick against Alpha United at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground was the best goal of the month.
It was a close call between Richardson and Fruta Conquerors’ Trevon Lythcott who netted a spectacular header against the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) at Tucville ground.
The league’s leading goalscorer with four goals from four matches played so far, Richardson is considered as the ‘backbone’ of Pele’s team and yesterday, the player said that he is happy for being acknowledged for his goal.
According to Richardson, the goal meant a lot to him since it was against his former club and he wanted to show his ex-bosses that he’s the best at what he does.
Richardson dedicated his award to his teammates, who he said are very supportive and added that collectively, Pele FC will rise once again in Guyana’s football.
