If anyone has the time would you please compile a list (and put it as a Sticky) so that I can just “cut and paste” to answer the “you never see a black player at Burnley” comments in newspapers!

Les Lawrence and Roger Eli ..
Whilst you're at it, you might want to throw Roger Eli's tale in his book when an interviewer asked him about racism. He said he'd experienced plenty in Leeds, but he then added that he didn't go out very often in Burnley ... the interviewer nodded sympathetically, but Roger went on, " No, not because of any racism, I just found the plaudits and praise from the fans all a bit much "

Back in 1980's I believe was a player called Regis? I was in my teens, I remember my dad saying it was a " big thing" for us at the time.
Did not quite grasp what he meant at the time.

I can’t remember the game, but I remember someone jokingly asked the question ‘Is Eddie Howe a racist?’ when for a particular game all the starting 11 were white and and all 7 substitutes were black.

In the height of racist abuse when banana throwing at black players was commonplace, Taffy James picked up a thrown banana, eat it and threw the skin off the pitch

A lot of these mentioned go back years.
How far back do you have to go to name our last 10 black players?

I’d remove Ali Koiki, Ntumba Massanka, Tendayi Darikwa & Lloyd Dyer from that list if I were you. None of them played for us in the Premier League & Dyer wasn’t at the club at any time we were in the Premier League.
Maybe add Nimani

Dane Richards was nearly 30 when we signed him?!
I thought he was about 17 which is why he was so shite.
