The Curaçao-born former national defender Horace “Tobacco” Beckles was hailed for coaching Barbados into the second round of the CONCACAF Zone of the 2002 World Cup when the national team created one of the biggest upsets in world football by defeating the highly rated Costa Rico.
BFA president Ronald Jones, who was also honoured, as well as two members of the executive council, senior assistant secretary Charles Husbands and junior vice-president Basil Gittens, and the long-serving Keith Jolla Barrow said the other 75 awardees would be fittingly acknowledged.
