It is commonplace now for Football League clubs to field several Black players, so much so that it scarcely merits comment. But it wasn’t always like that. In the 1960s it was possible for a player to go through his entire career without ever having a single Black team mate or facing a single Black player on the opposing team. That situation changed gradually during the 1970s and 1980s but being a Black footballer could still be a very lonely experience. Join Bill Hern and David Gleave, authors of Football’s Black Pioneers – The Stories of the First Black Players to Represent the 92 League Clubs, as they celebrate some of the men who first broke down barriers, pioneering footballers, men who faced discrimination and racism alone and, in doing so, paved the way for generations to come and changed the face of British football forever.
