Gilbey's Gin team owner and PBA president Carlos "Honeyboy" Palanca apparently had already expressed his desire to enlist the services of Robert "the Big J" Jaworski. Toyota team manager Jack Rodriguez, however, said that all player contracts of the Super Corollas were sold by management to Beer Hausen, including the Big J. In a shocking revelation, league officials, led by PBA commissioner Mariano Yenko and his legal counsel Atty. Rodrigo Salud, bared that Jaworski's contract was not really acquired by Shareholdings Inc. the holding company of Beer Hausen and the one that bought the Toyota franchise, and that Big J was committed to play for Gilbey's Gin. Jaworski, along with three other Toyota players namely; Francis Arnaiz, Chito Loyzaga and Arnie Tuadles, refused to play for Beer Hausen. In an official statement, Gilbey's owner Carlos Palanca said they will be able to accommodate Francis Arnaiz, but have to drop Loyzaga and Tuadles, because the team already has a complete backcourt lineup.http://rpbasketballphotos.blogspot.com/2010/12/trivia-on-big-j-toyotas-last-pba-game.html Trivia on Big J Sports Flash issues Finals stint Gilbey's defeated newcomer Beer Hausen in a playoff game on July 5 to enter the finals against defending champion Crispa, their last year's finals opponent in the same conference.https://pbarecordsoddities.blogspot.com/2017/05/3-significant-pba-games-in-july-1984.html Gilbey's advances to the finals The Gin Tonics placed runner-up to Crispa Redmanizers in the first of the two All-Filipino conferences of the year, losing 1-4 in the best-of-seven finals series. 1984 PBA First All-Filipino Conference finals Win–loss records vs opponents Teams Win Loss 1st All-Filipino 2nd All-Filipino 3rd (Invitational) Beer Hausen 6 7 3-3 1-0 2-4 Country Fair 3 0 2-0 1-0 N/A Crispa Redmanizers 3 10 2-7 1-1 0-2 Gold Eagle Beer 4 3 2-1 1-1 1-1 Great Taste Coffee 4 2 3-0 1-0 0-2 Northern (NCC) 1 5 1-3 0-2 N/A Tanduay Rhum 4 3 2-0 2-3 N/ATotal 25 30 15-14 7-7 3-9 Roster n Gilbey's Gin Tonics 1984 1 & 10 Tony Washam F 6 3 Virginia USA I 5 Steve Watson basketball F 6 2 Ateneo PHI 6 Conrado Pasco G 6 1 FEU PHI 7 Robert Jaworski G 6 1 UE PHI 8 Francis Arnaiz G 5 11 Ateneo PHI 10 Eduardo Ducut C 6 5 Letran PHI 11 Gary Vargas G 6 1 PSBA PHI 13 Antero Saldaña Terry Saldaña F 6 3 Letran PHI 14 Romulo Mamaril C 6 6 Mapúa PHI 15 Alex Clarino G 6 1 Lyceum PHI 17 Joseph Herrera F 6 0 Letran PHI 20 Rolando Buhay F 6 3 NCBA PHI 24 Willie Generalao G 5 8 Visayas PHI 66 Joey Marquez GF 6 1 AUF PHI PHI Arturo Valenzona PHI Guillermo Afable PHI Adolf Ferrer (I) Import Subtraction PlayerNumberPositionHeightNew TeamMarlowe Jacutin4Forward6 0Country Fair Hotdogs References External links Gilbey's team photo@interbasket.net Category:Barangay Ginebra San Miguel seasons Gilbey's Gin Tonics
