This month sees the 50th anniversary of the first time that three black players had appeared in the same Football League team.

That particular piece of football history proudly belongs to West Ham United. The three players were Clyde Best, Ade Coker and Clive Charles and the game was played at Upton Park on 1st April 1972, almost six years before West Brom’s celebrated "Three Degrees" stepped onto the Portman Road turf. 

Inclusive Irons, Love Football Hate Racism, WHUST and the authors of Football’s Black Pioneers will be celebrating the events of Easter Saturday 1972 with a mixture of DJ music, live music from The Shimmer Tones and interviews with former players hopefully including Clyde and Ade via video!

At £10 tickets are priced affordably to encourage attendance with any profit going to a local charity. Details are shown to the right

Everyone is welcome!
