Connie The Marvellous Life of Learie Constantine synopsis
He was in the Trinidad countryside in 1901. Liri Constantine was the most dynamic player of all age (1928-1939) when he played the Cricket Test for the Islands West Indies Cricket Club and Nelson.
Few who saw Constantine's work will forget the experience. As well as the cricket genius who described Constantine as "the most authentic cricket player of his time," Connie shines the world in which he grew up, a place where memories of slavery are fresh and quaint, almost obsessed with creating devotion to "English" often Britain has more than Britain itself.
Harry Pearson also appears in the community, which brought him to England Constantine, who Siatngah as much as embraced: the world of the working class in the narrow industrial North during the period of severe economic depression. Kony reveals how a brilliant businessman from the West Indies actually coincided with a place where local music stars such as George Formby, Frank Randall and Grace Fields were recognized as heroes, and how Lancashire cricket was integrated into this popular entertainment world.
genius, prejudice and human decency and cultural exchange is unlikely between two different places too - the island of Trinidad and tropical cities cloth manufacturing in the north of England - that share the common language of cricket.
