Worrying isn’t it
Nothing wrong with Black History at all..It`s the BLM movement that winds us all up.
Absolutely mate.....we all know the shit guys like the Big man went thru....Black mate of mine played against us once
the Abuse nearly made me cry...harder when it gets personal..always hated that shit...we loved OURS,but opposing
players would get serious crap thrown at them...saw plenty of bananas on the pitch...and we were no where near as bad
as some clubs.

BLM touches on being disrespectful to the likes of Clyde..all the shit he and others went thru..to set the foundations
for what is very near equality these days....in the UK that is..
Is almost like saying all their suffering didn't achieve anything...it achieved shitloads,and musn't be forgotten ..

There was a lot of abuse back in the day. But that was then, now is now. Time moves on and so do people's attitudes. It's something we shouldn't forget but it should be regarded as what it is. History, and not relevant to today's society.

I never understood as a small boy why he might be booed as a black player - at the time - as his arrival seemed very exotic. The black players we admired were Pele, Eusébio who were demi gods where we lived. In comparison George Best looked a bit of a twerp and most weeks acted like one.

Ahh I was the same when we signed Yilmaz Orhan.
