Garth Crooks has been moaning that not enough ethnic minorities were involved in the World Cup bid launch Other than Viv Anderson who could we have had? How many Black England legends are there?
Paul Ince, Ian Wright, Des Walker, Les Ferdinand, Paul Parker, John Barnes Don't know about legends, but they all played a fair few games, some very important.
John Barnes was invited but couldnt attend due to other commitments. The strength of the bid should be what is important and what wins it for us not the colour of the faces at the launch of the bid. Even Ian Wright said this was unimportant.
