Grab your sunnies, we're off to the Caribbean to discuss the world's strangest ever game and the Calypso King of the World.

Barbados v Grenada, a crunch match in the 1994 Caribbean Cup and a bizarre set of rules which meant it was advantageous to score a deliberate own goal. We examine the quirks of the scenario and get the view from the pitch from Cheney Joseph, the Grenadian captain that day. Now president of the Grenada Football Association, he reveals his plan the night before the match and describes the atmosphere on the pitch as the teams defended both goals. Unmissable.

We'll also chat about the man who made Calypso a career, bargaining for fair pay for the singers. Mighty Sparrow is witty, ironic and rude, his lyrics mind-bogglingly offensive at times but his ear for a tune is unrivalled.
