Fun fact (or not so fun for us anyway), i think the only black players to have lifted some silverware with us are Daniel Amokachi and Earl Barrett.

Don't know why I'm replying to your message about that but still! There kind of linked...
There must be a word for that, where it appears we're proper racist but the reality is we just haven't won that much since black players became commonplace in professional football teams.

I'm glad we've reached a point where it's essentially irrelevant.

I'm sure it will was posted recently that Mike Treblicock was the first black player to win the FA cup.
 
That wasn't the 2nd Division Trophy in 1931 - we were presented with a shield. That trophy only started getting presented in 1959.

Fair enough, but the silhouette graphics on the banners are being taken from Everton's own in house honours graphics prevalent on the club website. That's where they've come from.

People can be pedantics about it, but ultimately it represents a trophy we won.

We won the league 9 times, but on one of the occasions (1985) we were only presented with the Canon league title trophy and not the football league championship trophy that we would receive in 1987.

Because of that, do we say we only won the league 8 times because of that? Of course not.

Likewise, even though we never received that trophy per se for winning the 1931 Division 2 title, it still represents the 1931 title win.
