Black History Match Fact...

[BlackToffee]

As its Black history month I thought that I would share something with you which I suspect that most of you know, but may not appreciate.

Mike Trebilcock, when he scored his two goals against Sheffield Wednesday in 1966 became the FIRST Black player to score in an FA Cup final.

We already know that Saha has scored the fastest EVER FA Cup Final goal.

Just thought you'd like to know.

I wonder who the first black manager to win the Premier league will be.

Paul Emerson Carlyle Ince

I wonder who the first black manager to win the Premier league will be.

Don't think it will be for a long time as there is not many about black managers about, you could say that not many are actually given the chance for some reason.
Off my head i can only think of two, Ince and Barnes the latter having a terrible time at the moment with Tranmere.

 

[Screech]

That's an issue of the past, the main reason there's not many black managers atm is because there never used to be many black players in the English game, now that there's so many there's bound to be a few in the Premier League in the coming years

 

[DENNIS STEVENS]

chris kamara & ruud gullit have also had stints as premier managers

Just look at Tranmere now

Mike certainly had the right surname for a coloured gentleman.
Brings tears to a mans eyes.

I knew about Trebilcock . A fact conveniently forgotten in 80's media blitz on us . 5 ********s singing Everton are white , makes the News , but our Centre forward wins the Cup and it's a footnote .

Great Britain , Ladies and Gents .

My old man once bumped into his nephew in some pub toilets.

I was cheering when signed Earl Barrett.

Why did we wait so long to get any black players i wonder? Theyre weapons.
