Request for info re Bangu A.C of Brazil in Canada

[Richard]

The PCSL website includes some historical data on foreign teams that have toured British Columbia. See http://www.pcsl.org/thepcsl-tour-intro.htm

The PCSL webmaster today received a request for more details on the 1963 June 15 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Bangu A.C. of Brazil match in front of over 19,000 spectators at Empire Stadium in Vancouver.

Thanks to soccer historian Dave Fryatt, the PCSL was able to provide lineups and names of officials (but not goalscorers). Carlos has come back with a request for more information on Bangu games in Canada. If anybody can help I am sure he would be delighted....

Well,

I really work as journalist in Radiobras, in Brazil, but the question I did to you was because I´m a fan of Bangu A.C, and I have a site in the net, called www.bangu.net - with all the results of this club since 1904.

I have others doubts envolving games of Bangu in Canadá, but only one in Vancouver. You forgot to give me the goal scorers, but was: Chris Crowe, Jimmy Murray, Roberto Pinto and Beto (all in first time of the game), isn´t it?

Thanks a lot for answered my last question.

Could you help me?
