Adrian Mariappa of Jamaica is playing in Gold Cup. Notice his South Indian sounding surname "Mariappa". Although he is born and raised in England and plays for Watford, His mother Family is from Jamaica and he chose Jamaica to represent. His father and grandfather are from Fiji and Indian heritage is there from Father side.
Even West Indies cricket team has many players with such surnames like Chandepaul etc I think they migrated before Independence from India during British rule
who is he? All I can find about this name is there is a physically challenged footballer with this name, who played for doncaster college for deaf's and GB in deaf olympics, deaf's European championship etc.
