Talking of black strikers, it's doing me head in.

What's the name of that mixed race lad we had for a while, can't remember if he was a permanent signing or on loan, some connection with Hull I think. He put himself about a lot but always missed. Tommy Tyke was always explaining to us how good he was really and we'd see how wrong we were but I think he left having scored none or maybe one. Born in the Wirrall. His brother or cousin was always on here telling us what a star he was. I seem to think it began with W but I can't see anything in the archives which makes me think he was a loan signing.</p>

 

Regan?

He was scouser, mixed race, not very good but he wasn't a striker was he? So I've probably got that wrong. Anyway, I saw him last year in the Bill Shankly Suite at Anfield so have that. He was supping a pint.

 

No, not him. nt

 

Jon Walters ?

He was white and the Silkstone Garage meeting co-ordinator never defended him as I recall

 

Walters

 

Simon Johnson from Leeds? nt

 

Barn-Door Walters! That's him - yay!

</p>

Was he white then? Oops, I must have thought he was black cos he was crap.</p>

TT was always a fan of Kev Betsy.

Never shut up about him, if memory serves.

 

He's now scored 12 in 28 games for Ipswich. He was someone else who's face never fitted so ever gave him stick.

I don't think we were in a position to wait five years for him to start performing mate. nt

 

Is mixed-race the PC word for half-cast?

 

</p>

I think that's thephrase du jour.</p>

 

I didn't say we were MATE. All I said was in true typical Barnsley supporter fashion certian fans (you included by the way you worded your initial post) didn't give him the time and look at him now. The same way they treated Chopra and especially the same way they are treating Odejayi at the moment. That was my point, mate.

 

No we didn't give him the time mate.

</p>

Just as well as it turned out to be five years mate.</p>
