Has he passed the Fit and Proper Persons Test? He gives the tests
A memorable week for Suriname’s 60-year-old Vice President, who insisted on playing for and captaining the team he owns during a crunch fixture against Honduran giants Olimpia.
Ronnie Brunswijk managed 54 minutes and took all the kick offs as his side went down 6-0 in the qualifying stage of the Concacaf league, which is like the Europa League for the Carribean, Central and North America.
After the game he visited the Olimpia dressing room and dished out $100 bills to the opposition, before leaving with one of their shirts.
Sadly Ronnie, who has fathered 50 children and used to rob banks, won’t be travelling to Honduras for the second leg – he’s wanted by Interpol for drug trafficking and can’t leave Suriname.
