It's easy to forget just how much abuse black players got in those days. I guess then it was 'normal' - expected.
Terrible.
The fact that it still goes on to ANY degree is obviously bad, but these days it's picked up because it's much, much more isolated than before.
Our 3 were great players - 2 were in my top 5 all time favourites - but they were even greater men.
Our club showed the country, and even Europe, the way forward, and IMO its something to be very proud of.
RIP Laurie, RIP Cyrille
