    a really good documentary on black British football players and what they had to endure. An antidote here i went to my 1st football match mid 80s. I was called a wog and told to back home on a banana boat. I never to a football match until the mid 2000s. The event left such a scar on my memory.

  • Look at what Ian Wright (just one player) has to endure on social media recently, when we are in an enlightened age. Makes me think (but not for long) about what it was like before.

    As a discussion of scars on memory, and no relevance to your experience, I was taken to a few aston villa games in 82, and since then I have supported villa. It was my first experience of going to a football game and no real understanding as I was 7 years old, but the memories have stayed with me and I am a villa supporter still.
