Quote from: Damo70 on June 05, 2020, 12:34:07 PMI think Mark Blake played in that game at Goodison Park where we fielded more black players than white players and won 2-0. He always loked fairly decent to me but ultimately the vast majority of his league appearances were for Walsall and Mansfield.I was there that day. We were superb.

They'd had 1 or 2 yonks earlier but they hadn't had one for about 20 years until they signed Amokachi, and black players even in the 90s and 2000s said they suffered some of their worst racial abuse at Goodison. Les Ferdinand was vocal about it back then.

I've always suspected that given how their fans seemed to revel in it, it wasn't an accident that it had been that long.Liverpool is a strange place regarding race, it felt a lot more segregated up there than down here.
The seven black players:BarrettMcGrathBlakeDaleyYorkeAtkinsonMortimer? Are these right?Edit replace Mortimer with Ehiogu?
Given that O'Hare is 24, perhaps the club is looking at Ramsey x 2, Barry, Brunt, Vassilev, Chukwuemeka and Archer and saying: we can't keep everyone here and this younger cohort is the one to invest in.
He's 22, still nowhere near the first team and turning down new deals. If he goes it's hardly our fault.
