Duarte Bettencourt gives signed game ball to Manuel Espinola

1978-10

Duarte Bettencourt was the president of the Portuguese American Club (Blues Club) in Lowell, MA.

After a game in 1978, members of the Lowell Lusitanos soccer team visited Manuel at his home and presented him with the signed game ball. Manuel couldn't attend the game because he had a wedding to attend.
