http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/tributes-pour-cyrille-regis-after-14155516 Met him at a football summer school when I was young. He was the nicest man you could wish to meet and had a beaming aura.

It was not easy for black footballers in those days. He was an MBE, too.

Lovely piece on CR here. Did anyone see the bbc1 show regarding the 70s/80s racism in football last night by Adrian Childs? Great watch if you missed it on iplayer. Was mainly about the West Midlands area obviously with Childs presenting it.

It made me realise a) how old i am that i remember stuff like that and b) how much the world has changed in the last 30 odd years. Football was a scary place to be as a kid in that era. |
