Was it late 70s yeah? I know viv Anderson was the first black player to be capped. I was thinking that was 79 or 81.Really good, very sad at times. They did the stories of Walter Tull, Jack Leslie and Arthur Wharton really well.
I didnt realize Spurs had a 70 year year gap between having black players.
Also didn't know England started having black players represent England in the late 70s!!
The FA has to do a better job of promoting these men. Baseball does a good job remembering the likes of Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente.
I don't know where you got that from, but in my post I never said Hendo was top whatever or better than anyone. I don't know where y'all getting this from. But I hope to God Liverpool go out there tomorrow and walk a 4-0 win because again, the squad has looked clueless without him in numerous games going back to last season and has nothing to do on where he ranks as a player.pure coincidence
he's not a top 40 midfielder

I keep telling the mandem about Germany
"When I first met him, Sadio Mane looked like a rapper who was just starting out" - Juergen Klopp.
"The German coach considered bringing the Senegal star to Borussia Dortmund but decided against it because of his appearance.
Jurgen Klopp says he was not impressed when he first met Sadio Mane because the Liverpool star "looked like a rapper".
Mane arrived at Liverpool just a year into Klopp's tenure and has become a pivotal player for the Champions League winners, scoring 77 times in 161 appearances in all competitions to help them to Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup titles.
But the Senegal star had been on Klopp's radar long before the 2016 move to Anfield, as the German coach considered bringing him to Borussia Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg, where he won the league and cup double.
Klopp, however, decided against signing him because of his appearance, allowing Southampton to snap him up from the Austrian giants.
"I remember my first encounter with Sadio. It was in Dortmund. There was a really young guy sitting there. His baseball cap was askew, the blond streak he still has today," Klopp said in a new documentary about the 27-year-old.
"He looked like a rapper just starting out. I thought: 'I don't have time for this' . Our team back then really wasn't bad. I needed someone who could handle not being a starter at the very beginning, someone I could develop.
"I'd say I have a pretty good feeling for people, but was I wrong! I further followed his career and continued success at Salzburg. In Southampton he just dominated.""

And no this ain't about Klopp per-se. It is about casual judgements which are the norm in Germany.
