Product Description

Review

successfully portrays the gradual breaking down of barriers by each generation of black players. (Ross Shiel The Sunday Gleaner )

Product Description

It was in 1978, that Viv Anderson became the first black player to be selected for England. It is a measure of how life for black footballers has improved that in 2002 Arsenal could field nine non-white players at Leeds’ Elland Road ground without comment. A tenth, Jermaine Pennant, came on as a substitute. While it would be wrong to claim that racism has been entirely banished from English football, the problem is not as bad as on the European continent. Rodney Hinds, sports editor of The Voice, Britain’s leading black newspaper, examines the attitudes of the football establishment over the years and talks to players who had to suffer abuse from visiting fans and players, and sometimes their own team-mates.

Black Lions 4 Feb 2007
Format:Hardcover
This book was an excellent read even form me, not knowing much about football I found it very interesting. It is informative and provides everything you need to know about the history of black players in the english game.

Unlike other books that feature black players, 'Black Lions' provides an in depth analysis of key players from back in the day and how football has come along from then. Overall a very good read.
