Football’s Black Pioneers on the Adrian Goldberg talk show

It was a pleasure to chat to Adrian Goldberg about ‘Football’s Black Pioneers’. He was enthusiastic about the book which he described as ‘a simple but brilliant concept’ and ‘a really great book’. There are a couple of slips of the tongue on my part, I should clarify that Arthur Wharton was the first professional black player, Willie Clarke was the first black player to score in the English Football League and Charlie Williams was the only black man in his village not in the whole of Yorkshire!
