Montserrat

Ah, Ruel Fox, still one of my all-time favourite players!

Interesting aside for those with an Irish outlook: Montserrat has strong links to Ireland due to labourers, planters and slave-owners emigrating there over a long period of time growing sugar cane. Their flag has a woman in a green dress with a harp and they celebrate St. Patrick's Day on the 17th March although I think it's linked to their campaign against the slave-owners.

A cousin of mine inherited a piece of land over there , went over to see it came back flabbergasted ...Rastas called McCarthy  and Murphy.
