Don't forget the (grand) parents March 20, 2008

I asked Nick the commentator to ask Carlos and Kenwyn where in Trinidad they grew up, my having travelled the island thoroughly ahead of the 2006 World Cup (Trinidad were the smallest country ever to get to the Finals).

The premiership stars at Sunderland were forthcoming and offered up placenames. So specific was Carlos that he said in the tiny island hamlet where he grew up I could find his Dad out the back on the plantation and his Mum pottering about on the verandah (or was it the other way around?) and that I would simply HAVE to say hello and accept their hospitality when I am next there.
