Viac o knihe
Colouring Over the White Line details the social history of minority players in British soccer. It records and celebrates the careers of players, some of whom achieved great things, while others were little more than journeyman footballers. What unites them is the consistent response of prejudice to the color of their skin which forced them apart from their colleagues. This book reintroduces players such as Arthur Wharton, the fastest man in the world; the Anglo-Asian brothers who were Victorian soccer's uncomprising hardmen; the short, beautiful, and brutal life of Britain's first black soldier to be commissioned a combat officer; the first black international who played for Wales in 1931; and the Anglo-Chinese Liverpudlian who was the first man of colour to play for England.
