    Maybe the players just see themselves as 'Players' and not 'Black Players' . Just a thought .

    Bruce Dyer but Winnie Campbell, Larry May and Clint come close.

    Clint scored the most memorable and important goal but he wasn’t as good a player as Bruce IMO, he contributed reliably for seasons.

    See the other thread kamikaze started for my thoughts on this thread generally.

    Yes, played for Bradford for many years. Got a lot of abuse. He did a bit of DJing when he finished playing. Top bloke.

    I enjoyed watching Clint more than Bruce. Bruce is a lovely bloke but I cant say I particularly enjoyed watching him play for us.

    Steve Makone, didn't play more than a couple, but believe he was our first black player.

    I often read this about Clints goal, but if he scored the 2nd in a 2-0 win.

    Paul Wilkinson is the man that scored the decisive goal on the day. That goal took us into the prem.
