Cardigan Connor:
Cardigan Connor was the cult figure in county cricket. He was among the list of dangerous fast bowlers of the 80s. Connor left his home island of Anguilla in 1979 to pursue a cricketing career in England. Since Anguilla is a British overseas territory, he was eligible to play county cricket as a local. He started his county career for Buckinghamshire and played them for five years but he shinned in the county for Hampshire.
The right-arm pacer was the known name in the county. He registered his career-best 9 for 38 came at the age of 35. There was talk of a possible limited-overs international career but it never materialised and he had to content himself to only domestic cricket. Connor retired at the end of the 1998 season. In total Connor took over 1,000 wickets for Hampshire.
