A soccer guru on the South Shore is calling it a day after 50 years. Bob Sayer has decided to retire from coaching. The Mahone Bay native has enjoyed the ups and downs of the South Shore United Football Club including guiding 10 teams to the nationals. Sayer also founded the Lunenburg District Youth Soccer Association and the first Atlantic Canadian to be elected vice-president of the Canadian Soccer Association. He says the time has come to pass the torch.Sayer began coaching in England before bringing his knowledge to the South Shore. He was inducted into the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame in 1992 as the first inductee for the sport of soccer. He says he will continue refereeing the game and working with the South Shore United Football Club.
