Caribbean tale of difficult beginnings, adversity and long odds overcome,
opportunities grasped, challenges met and dreams fulfilled -
altogether a fascinating personal odyssey.'

'I thank and salute Joseph 'Reds' Perreria, a man who lived for the thing he loved -

many years to inspire by his deeds the young people of
today and tomorrow - on and off the field of sport.'

'Reds is a wonderful and distinctive commentator. Whenever he comes on the
airwaves he brings with him a richness that awakens the ghosts of history and a
chuckle that tells of flying fish, rum, dancing and steel bands.'
- Peter Roebuck, former Somerset Captain and cricket writer
