I feel I have to point out that a sticking a top hat on a black bloke, writing darkie on his back and calling him your mascot is an exploitative and grossly offensive. It is not 'un-pc'.

Quote from: "Ryu"I feel I have to point out that a sticking a top hat on a black bloke, writing darkie on his back and calling him your mascot is an exploitative and grossly offensive. I think it's pretty patronising to assume that 'Darkie' had no mind of his own.

I understand that society has changed so much that stuff like this seems funny but the term political correctness is a bit of a bugbear of mine as the only people who seem to use it our daily mail types whinging about 'political correctness gone mad'.Rant over.
Has anyone got any idea who the 1st & 3rd players are?
I read the above in a Columbo voice!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Aston_Villa_captainsThe above link says Dorsett was captain 1949-1951 and that Blachflower was captain 1951-1955 with Johnny Dixon thereafter.Obviously the info is based on Blanchflower being appointed captain for the season but he left in October 1954.To me its a reasonable assumption that Blanchflower took the captaincy at the start of the 1951-52 season.This now ties the picture down to the end of season 1950-51 with Dorsett still captain.If this is the case,there are just 4 league games at home in which dorsett was captain,and blanchflower,moss or gibson all played in.27/3/51 wolves,31/3/51 sheff wed,14/4/51 portsmouth,5/5/51 stoke.
