Sir Vivian Richards was known for instilling fear in bowlers during his playing days. Riding on his magnificent batting excellence, the West Indies cricket team tasted success in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1991, he retired from international cricket with more than 15000 international runs across all formats. 

The West Indies legend made his international debut in 1974. In the same year, he was also a part of Antigua’s squad that participated in the 1974 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. His team ended the campaign at the bottom of the table in that competition. Following this debacle, Richards never featured in Antigua’s football squad.
