omariqy Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I won't give away mine just yet but fair to say we've had some absolute top quality black players and great history of having black players in our team. Something to be very proud of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see to me that's pretty much what I mean with class in this context. Is class a term you use for working class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team was Les Sealey Dariusz Kubicki Shaun Teale Paul McGrath Bryan Small Mark Blake Kevin Richardson Dalian Atkinson Tony Daley Cyrille Regis Dwight Yorke I think Ugo was on the bench There are five of the best players I’ve ever seen play for us full stop in that squad.

villalad21 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I think it's wrong to label people as "black" or "white" This is a part of the problem in society and just adds to the divide. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronk-villa Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 8 hours ago, blandy said: I remember going to Goodson in the 90s. Midweek evening game, that deckchair green away strip, Neville Southall applauding us away fans at the end of the game for making a racket non-stop, and I mean, genuinely did not stop for a moment throughout the game. Anyway, we had a team that was mostly black players. I’m not sure it was 9, but maybe 7 started. I think we won 2-0, but it might have been a draw. I’m trying to recollect the the team in my memory. Brian Small, Earle Barrett, God, Yorkie, Dalian, Bozzie, Deano...anyone else remember that game? Yes. Didnt we have midfielder called mark blake play that game too?
