Clyde Best headlines latest sports cards release
Bermudian football legend Clyde Best has been unveiled in the latest cadre of sport stars included in a series of cards produced by the Bermuda Police Service.
The BPS, who worked with the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club on the scheme, announced five new cards in the planned 44-card series focused on local sporting legends and active sports superstars.
Along with Mr Best, the latest batch of cards include Katura Horton-Perinchief, an Olympic diver; Megan Troake, a field hockey player; Kaden Hopkins, a cyclist; and Dage Minors, a track and field athlete.
Each card features the athlete’s name, photo and sport on the front, while the reverse side gives a synopsis of their sporting achievements, as well as a personal quote.
A BPS spokesman said: “Thanks to the partnership with Hamilton Princess, a total of 35 collectible sports cards have been released since October 1, 2024, with the final two card sets scheduled to be distributed in April and May 2025.
“With March’s release, eight legends and 27 superstars have been revealed to date, leaving only three legends and six superstars to be unveiled for this 2024-25 sports cards series.
“Our youth are encouraged to actively seek out police officers on patrol throughout the island for an opportunity, through positive interaction or engagement, to receive one of the latest collectible sports cards.”
Cards for the previously unveiled sports figures can be found at any of the island’s police stations.
However, the spokesman warned that some cards may no longer be available.
