RE: Who was the last black 1st team regular? What, you mean apart from Matt Carbon, Dean Gorre, Bruce Dyer, Carl Regan, Clint Marcelle and Larry May since Winston Campbell?
RE: Who was the last black 1st team regular? Bruce Dyer, before that Clint Marcelle. You could argue that Carbon would be if he wasn't struggling with injury.
Kevin Betsy/Bruce Dyer? I'm surprised some of the more racist Barnsley fans didn't single them out for abuse. Oh wait.
Whichever way you look at it That's not many in 25 years. We're bound to have fewer black players than some clubs as the ethnic population in the town is extremely small, so there is far less chance of a young black player making it into the academy. But for us to only have have signed a handful is, er, I dunno, odd?
Agreed. Look at the coloured players down at the Wendies. They even used to have 'Darkie Kovacevic' before they sold him to Real Sociedad.
