Waisea Tale is a household name when it comes to local soccer as he played in all the three Inter District Championship finals that Nadroga won in 1988, 1989 and 1993.

Now he is coaching the Nadroga soccer team with a hope that he can deliver the same for his district from the sidelines.

Tale whose two sons, Waisea Tale Junior and Benjamin Rokobaro are current members of the Nadroga team said he will never forget those moments of the 1988 IDC final when the match went into penalty shootout.

Tale said he used to play as a mid-fielder but he was called up
to stand on the goal-line to stop the penalty kick from Nadi which gave them the first IDC victory.
