Football's Black Pioneers by David Gleave

informative medium-paced

3.5

A decent-good primer on each of the first Black players for the 92 teams in the English Football League. It’s about 1-2 pages per player, all stories are written in straightforward language and are easy to read. Would’ve loved deeper dives on particular people, but this is meant to be a ‘wide and shallow’ surface level info book, not a deep dive into wider sporting racial politics/culture.
