We are delighted to celebrate the return to the Football League of Oldham and Barnet. Oldham featured in our book, Football’s Black Pioneers, but Barnet did not.
You can see highlights of Oldham’s thrilling play-off win against Southend (a team that also features in our book) here:

Barnet, on the other hand, do not feature in the book and so we have added a piece about them, and their first Black player, to our website. You can read it here:

If you don’t yet have a copy of our book and would like to know the story of the first Black player at Oldham (or Southend) it is still available through Amazon or any good bookshop.
