The former national player and coach lost his battle with brain cancer at age 56. Paying tribute to Delph, Anil Roberts, Minister of Sport said, “Gordon’s contribution to the sport of table tennis has been tremendous over the years. He inspired many with his style of play, represented T&T across the Caribbean and the world, and turned into a thoughtful and respected coach when his playing days were over. His impact and influence on the local game is profound and he will be deeply missed.” The Ministry of Sport and the Sports Company of T&T offer their condolences to the family and friends of Delph, a giant of a table tennis player and patriot in sport.
