Have you seen that the blades had the first black footballer in the first division, In 1894. According to the Yorkshire Post, Wharton was the goalkeeper.
You learn something everyday.
 
I thought this was well known, to be fair. He played for several clubs across the North, and played three games for us as the back up for Fatty Foukes when he was injured or had indigestion.

Its one of those facts that they have to drag our every 'Black History Month', as apart from Mary Seacole (who was everything they say she wasn't), there isn't a lot of Black History in the UK on account of there being very few black people in Britain up to the mid 1950's. I guess it would be something similar but reversed if Nigeria had a White History Month. Still, diversity and inclusivity....
 
I for one welcome blik history month.

Where would we be without blik peepo? We'd have no advert stars, and far fewer STDs and machetes. So show some respect.
 
Now we have a Nigerian Tory Party leader. If someone told me that 50 years ago, I would have told them, "Surely you,re taking the f..kin piss!""

Indeed. It's a global embarrassment for Britain. And they think it makes them look good. In reality, they've fallen right into the trap of browning themselves up, and destroying their calibre and identity. Good. Fuck them. May they die.
 
All Inclusive in my opinion means surrendering our ONCE great country to the enemy. Since my youth and early days in the army when ALL dusky skinned foe were called "W.GS and the words to General Alarm played on the bugle were, "Got The N...GER BY THE BALLS!" This country has gone down faster than a lead balloon! Not racist, just cold hard facts!
