Celebrate Jamaican independence day – Jamaica’s black pioneers

‘Football’s Black Pioneers’ will feature three footballers who were born in Jamaica and at least another ten with Jamaican heritage.

Pictured below are six of our Jamaican footballing pioneers. Only one of them was born in Jamaica, but do you know which one? Two of them would help their teams reach the final of the European Cup (forerunner of the Champions League) during their illustrious careers, but do you know which two?

The answers to these questions and many, many more will be in ‘Football’s Black Pioneers’ which will be published on 31sr August. Oh, and one of the players pictured has contributed a foreword to ‘Football’s Black Pioneers’!
