Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Metro Toronto honors the metros. Metro Toronto Council chairman Paul Godfrey (right) presents Eusebio; captain of Metros-Croatia soccer team; with pair of sterling silver cufflinks in recognition of the club winning the North American league championship. But that was only the appetizer as Metro Toronto executive committee voted to lend team $10;000 to defray expenses. This raised to $95;000 loaned by Metro to the soccer club.
