Team Fergie, Task 3, Team Olly
by Marky Sat Sep 28, 2013 6:48 am
Black players XI.Lord Azzy wrote:Good morning ladies and gentlemen. You are gathered here as 7 of the most talented young fake online football managers in this country. Over the remaining weeks I will be laying on a series of football-related tasks, all of which are designed to test your football knowledge, historical understanding, and creativity.
Which brings me on to the third task. Racism is once again on the agenda, with veterans such as Sol Campbell and Paul Canoville speaking out against prejudice within the game against black players and managers.
What I want you to do is to provide me with what you think would be the greatest side made up entirely of black players. This is not to segregate them, but instead is your chance to highlight some fantastic legends of the game and their contributions to it.
The team with the best XI and explanation of why they chose those particular players will win, and from the losing team, one of you will be fired.
These are the teams for this week - Zebs and Marky have swapped sides. Nando will lead Team Moyes, and Olly will lead Team Fergie.
Team Moyes: Trebs, Gregers, Nando (Team Leader), Zebs
Team Fergie: Marky, GSC, Olly (Team Leader)
The deadline for your submissions is Monday 7 October at 1100. Good luck.
Lets have it

My early thoughts;
- Spoiler:
- Bernard Lama
Viv Anderson - Sol Campbell - Marcel Desailly - Ashley Cole
Eusebio - Paul Ince - Patrick Vieira - John Barnes
Pele - Cyrille Regis
Lama - not many famous black goalkeepers, he fits the bill
Anderson - First black England international
Campbell - Used in the main topic as an example
Desailly - F**king lazy
Cole - First black player to get over 100 England caps
Eusebio - World Class
Ince - Steel in midfield
Vieira - As above
Barnes - Very outspoken on racism and class player
Pele - It's Pele
Regis - One of the first mainstream black players in the 1980's, and played for WBA (so bonus points with Azzy)

Who was the first ever black footballer? Surely he must make the grade

Google (and Wiki) tells me it's this guy;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Wharton
He was the first black professional footballer and the first to play in the football league.
If you mean ever globally, this guy;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Watson_(football_player)
Was the first black footballer to play internationally, for Scotland.
Watson is a fullback so would have to oust Viv Anderson or Ashley Cole (who have both achieved so much for black footballers). Wharton was a goalkeeper who later became a winger, he could replace Lama in goal easily although not sure he could shift Eusebio or Barnes.

This was the guy I was thinking of, we did him in PE. Got more than just a football side to him though.
Wharton could oust Lama in goal

He was second in the Football League behind Wharton, no need to pick every black guy from the 1880's though

Yeah but he had the whole War thing going on as well!
Think we need someone of that ilk in the side, a real pioneer of the game

It's your decision mate, GSC and I are just here to assist. It is a matter of "greatest" black footballers though, so it would be hard to include any of the 1880's players based on ability. Hence I mentioned the likes of Pele and Eusebio.
