Who?
I think there might have been a young centre half who never played actually
Believed he was hopeless, or that he shipped flak for being black?
TBH I can't recall any of our own black players being abused from the terraces.
amazing how many simple things have been deemed as racist after being accepted by our society for years--Blackboards (yet we changed from using the term from coloured to blacks?) getting golliwogs after saving tokens from jam.
Not saying all was perfect then at all but highlighting or changing stuff like that can make things worse! As said in my OP Benno happy enough here and still well thought of in his locals![]()
Fear of the unknown, fear of invasion etcThis, definitely. Before I moved away in the late 70's, the only black fella I'd ever spoken to was an older bloke who was always smartly dressed, and wore a trilby. I think he lived in a flat above Jessie's florist's on Pallion Road, and always went along the terrace for his shopping every day. I think he came over in the 50's. Everyone was always polite to him, and most would say good morning etc. It was different on the terraces though, but, as you say, lack of experience etc.
Que?
Reid signed mboma and bellion
I think we've put that to bedand Matt Piper
And the mystery signing - Step up Phil (Ke)Babband Matt Piper
Most of our team is black now, only 3 white players the other day.
I don't find that racistNot football but it's hard to believe that as recently as the 90s they were naming TV gladiators Nightshade and Shadow.
A few black former players were discussing racism on 5live recently, and while they said the London clubs were the worst, we also got a mention as being bad
Were we particularly bad?
I started in the 80s and everyone still called Gary Bennett midnight![]()
We were just as bad as anyone imo. The clocks in the early 80's where I stood was rife . Me and my mate would pray the opposition wouldn't have a black full back or it would be shocking.
Trigger trigger trigger
Shoot that ******
Which ******
That ******
Bang bang bang
This was sung regularly enough for me to remember it.
You'd be naive to say that the mags were far worse than us.
Neither can I, can't remember any real racism either, the terms Darkie or Blackie were used in the same way Jock or Paddy were used, If people see that as racist, then I suppose we were.I can't recall hearing that one.
Cringe thinking about some of the stuff that went on... Was in the criterion in shields on the eve of one game. Group of West Ham fans start singing Bubbles...they were met with West Ham n** n**s sing this song doo dah doo dah
