The football fraternity is in mourning following the death of Humble Lion’s founder and technical director, Anthony Pringle, on Thursday.

Pringle, or ‘Jah T’ as he is called, was also a long-standing player at the Clarendon club, which was formed in 1974. He later became technical director, a post he served in until his death.

Raymond Anderson, a former Jamaica Football Federation vice president, expressed shock at Pringle’s passing, saying, “Sleep well, Jah T. The humble man that is behind Humble Lion FC. My sincere condolences to the family, friends and his club”.

JFF president, Michael Ricketts, posted: “I would have known Pringle for decades, RIP my friend.”

Ewan Scott, president of the Clarendon Football Association, posted: “RIP Jah T, genuine friend and a very humble person. Always doing things for the betterment of the sport.”

Harbour View’s chairman, Carvel Stewart, noted that Pringle was “an uncelebrated great true leader in the premier league and football. Builder of Humble Lion himself, the real Humble Lion. Football hero rest well, true friend”.

Waterhouse’s Ricky Chin posted, “RIP Jah T, real servant of football”.
