      A popular Hollywood movie that year was My Cousin Vinny, starring Joe Pesci as a New York lawyer who goes to a backwater Alabama town to defend a relative accused of murder. Vinny, who speaks with a strong Brooklyn accent, pronounces “two youths” as “two yoots.” The line got big laughs. Starting in training camp, assistant coach Cap Raeder would refer to Zhitnik and Sydor as those “two yoots,” which never failed to loosen up the room.

      Took me almost 40 years to realise I'd inadvertently photographed an example of Jean-Michel Basquiat's and Al Diaz's SAMO© collaboration... while I was taking a shot of T&V, the yoots hanging out on the steps next door insisted I photograph them too.
