Back in the day West Ham's Clyde Best was the best of the cohort you reference. There is a YouTube video of West Ham v Spurs from 1971 with Clyde Best, Geoff Hurst, Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Moore on the field for West Hame against Spurs with Martin Peters, Chivers, Gilzean, England, and Mullery (our own JB kicked the shit out of him in a combination game at the Vetch in '71 or '72 and a massive brawl broke out in the center circle of mud)Watched Brum beat Reading the other night and were very lucky to do so. I was impressed with Reading and noticed, without implying any semblance of racism whatsoever, that they had no less than EIGHT black players (people of colour) in their team.
I have noticed that black players are usually strong, athletic, fast, combative and that is how Reading played. Some of them had some really silky skills as well in that they could beat a defender with flair and tricks. I just hope that by the time we play them next we have got ourselves out of this rut we're in because otherwise I can see us being totally overwhelmed by an impressive team that seems to have regained its form.
I grew up in an era when black players were few and far between, a stark difference to the current game where there are many fine home-grown black players who have added so much to the game. With Reading boasting eight good players I wonder if we'll ever see an entire team comprising black players. And that would be no bad thing in today's racist climate.
Let's hope they do us a favour tomorrow, and at least draw with Watford.Watched Brum beat Reading the other night and were very lucky to do so.
We will need a Watford stumble then, possibly of cliff edge proportionsI'd rather see the Bees than Watford in the automatic promotion places.
