Leicester City defender and captain Wes Morgan was one of the team’s foundation players this season, and the man affectionately known as “Captain Morgan” has been honored with a custom label on a bottle of Captain Morgan rum.

Of course, just because someone at Captain Morgan Photoshopped the defender onto the bottle, that doesn’t mean he’s going to get a bottle for free.
Awesome! I’m assuming my bottle is in the post? @CaptainMorganEU https://t.co/dwgoIPPmMG

Captain Morgan’s senior brand manager Rhys Love said the limited edition bottle has been created.
“The special limited edition bottle features the Jamaican international star dressed as Captain Morgan in royal blue and white robes to match Leicester City’s home kit. Captain’s [sic] lead by example and we are thrilled to have one of the greatest captains of recent times, who coincidentally shares our name, become the center of a historic sporting moment.”
“We have created a limited edition Captain ‘Wes’ Morgan bottle to celebrate his incredible title win triumph as the club’s skipper. We salute Leicester City and their own Captain Morgan.”
It’s a shame Captain Morgan is distilled in Puerto Rico rather than Jamaica. Morgan has captained the Jamaican national team, and was a member of the squad that finished as runner-up in last summer’s Gold Cup to Mexico.
