Hakan Sukur?
Personally I always think particularly in the 80`s there was an agenda against black players in the England team, particuarly Laurie and Cyrille who had attributes and qualities exceeding many of the oft tried and tested players who had failed on previous occasions
Dont think there were was any anti-Mercian agenda, certainly many players were in the early eighties playing for Ipswich or Liverpool
Certainly Kerry Dixon for example scored a lot but was his all round game on par with Regis for pace? in the air? holding up play?
Anyway found the Cyrille for Ajax article
