Hi Friends! Percy Abeysekera - Sri Lanka's One-man Cheer Squad Percy was born on 30 July, 1936 & hails from a well-to-do & well-known family in Boossa, Galle. His father was a teacher & later a School Principal & his mother, a teacher & later a Headmistress, during British times. He has two brothers & two sisters. He married Meloney De Silva from Moratuwa in 1968 (she passed away on Sep. 24, 2010), & has two children, a son named Garfield (after Garfield Sobers) & a daughter. Stanley de Zoysa & M. P. De Z Siriwardena, former Ministers of State in Ceylon, were his uncles. The Lion in the fluttering Sri Lanka Flag during Sri Lanka cricket matches comes alive and commands the attention of all fans. This LION speaks with an authoritative tone and becomes virtually the mascot for the Sri Lanka team. It has entered into Sri Lankan folk lore. This Lion by another name is PERCY ABEYSEKERA. ABEYSEKERA is already a LEGEND. Our Other Sports Videos : 1.
