A new perspective on the lives, careers and experiences of groundbreaking black footballers in England. Ninety-two chapters tell the unique stories of the first black players to represent each of the Football League clubs. Four years of original research have not only identified these history makers but have also uncovered a wealth of fascinating and often eye-opening personal tales. This collection of rich and hugely varied stories spans the period from Arthur Whartons debut for Sheffield United in 1885 right up to the present day, covering over 130 years of social history. They include personal interviews with many of the players including Viv Anderson MBE, Chris Kamara, Tony Ford MBE, Neville Chamberlain and Roland Butcher and family members of stars from the more distant past. Footballs Black Pioneers features an incredible variety of emotive human stories and forgotten characters, together with a powerful theme of struggle against now-unthinkable attitudes, and the revelation of many unexpected historical facts.

Hampson, Matthews, Mortensen, Suddick, Green, Armfield, Ellis and Adam. Smith, Stokoe, Ayre, Grayson and Holloway. Atomic Boys, hooligans, boycotts and homecoming. 1953 and 2010. The best trip. Blackpool Football Club. Every fan knows that supporting this club is the much-used clich rollercoaster ride. Every success is followed by failure, every moment of hope followed by despair and every dream becomes a nightmare. Its what being a Blackpool fan is all about. Blackpool supporters are not that different from any others, and the club is not that different either, but theres something in the fabric of its identity that says that nothing will ever come easily. Flat Caps & Tangerine Scarves isnt a history. Its a biography. A manic dash around the seasons like a stream of consciousness. Getting into the minds of the players, the managers and the supporters of the club that defies normality and embraces controversy and crisis. Quotes, interviews, opinions and unusual stories. Like the Golden Mile, its brash and unexpected. Read, recall, argue and agree, but identify as a fan because We Are Blackpool. ---- About the Author ---- Roy Calley was a BBC sports journalist for 26 years, but far more importantly has followed Blackpool FC for twice that long. Despite the regular failings, under-achievement and annual crises, he has stuck by them, even when moving to the south of France. This is his 13th book, ranging from Mary, Queen of Scots and North Korea to James Hunt and Niki Lauda and everything in between. Flat Caps & Tangerine Scarves is a work of passion. An ambition finally realised. For Roy, theres always something about Blackpool
