FA+Graham Taylor

I remember a documentary released a couple of years ago where Graham Taylor almost broke down in tears talking about his time as England manager. He so wanted it to work out and it just didn't.

The way the press hounded him and his family was a genuine disgrace

Seems like a nice bloke as well. I felt quite bad for him watching it

Graham Taylor is brill on the radio. I never cared that much for the England national team, but he was treated disgracefully, although he did preside over a real demise on the international scene.

The FA is a phalange of fools.

Remember our own board at the time? There were rumours of "white only"-policy supporting board members here, though how much foundation those rumours had I don't know.
 
Onuora, whose brother Iffy was a striker for nine professional clubs and later managed the Ethiopia national team, has a masters degree in ethnic studies and race relations and has lectured extensively on issues of race and sport. His analysis is that Taylor is unlikely to be the first England manager to have been given these instructions in the past.

An analysis of what?

To analyze something you need actual evidence. According to Taylor there was no incident.

Its like trying to claim you've analyzed the weather later today as going to be raining - without ever looking out of the window.

Joke of an article
 

It's actually disgusting how they're labelling him even if indirectly this to both fit their agenda and even worse sell a few books.
 
"England is Racist" nonsense story shocker. Truth from the horses mouth below.

Shows what utter morons there are in the media and those with real chips on their shoulders.

Utter bells.

Paul Ince rejects Sol Campbell's racism claims

Paul Ince has rejected Sol Campbell's claim that he would have been England captain 'for 10 years' if he had been white.

Ince, the first black man to wear the armband for England, is the latest figure to argue against the views expressed by Campbell in a new autobiography serialised in the Sunday Times.

Campbell was capped 73 times but skippered the side only three times.

However, Ince pointed to the long list of England captains, arguing that most had to make do with relatively short stints in the job.

"There's been me, (Tony) Adams, (Stuart) Pearce, (David) Seaman, (Alan) Shearer, (John) Terry, (Rio) Ferdinand... that's a lot of big names with a lot of big egos," Ince told the Daily Mail.

"Sol's a clever, articulate man and he's a friend of mine but he wouldn't have been England captain for 10 years - nobody is.

"He has obviously had different experiences to me as a footballer and I can only really talk about my own."

Ince was made captain of England for the first time in 1993. He was initially reluctant to be known as the man to break a colour barrier, but said he later came to realise the significance of the moment.

"For me it was the pinnacle of my career when Graham Taylor made me captain, but I can remember feeling uncomfortable with the questions," he added.

"I just wanted to be the England captain, I didn't want to be remembered as the first black England captain because I didn't look at it in that way.

"Then, after the game, I began to look at it in a different way because I had a lot of parents from the ghetto sending me letters telling me it had inspired their children to get jobs or to start playing football.
 
Rubbish.

Race. Trying to start a witch hunt.

Paul Ince was an England Captain under Graham Taylor.

The first black England Captain.

But that doesn't make a good story.
i don't live in england hence why I posted here asking about it
