2 comments about Samba in the Smethwick End: Regis, Cunningham, Batson and the Football Revolution.
- This book does very well to capture a bleak picture of racism in football (soccer to us Americans) in England in the 1970's. Bowler and Bains sucessfully put us in the West Brom dressing room and into the minds of players who dealt with torrents of abuse from the terraces during every match.
Perhaps the one flaw of the book is that it strays slightly off-topic in the final chapters and discusses the decline of football in the West Midlands in the 1980's and 1990's. While it is certainly a topic of interest to me as an Albion fan, it distracts from the main topic of the book, which is the Three Degrees and their legacy of encouraging acceptance of black footballers. Hardly anyone cares about skin tone now when men like Rio Ferdinand or Ashley Cole put on the Three Lions shirt - it's their performances that matter.
- Inspirational tale of the pioneering entry into '70s and '80s English soccer by three brilliant young black players (Cyrille Regis, Brendon Batson and the since deceased Laurie Cunningham) on West Bromwich Albion. A truly heartfelt look at the impact these three had on the game of soccer in England at a crucial stage in its development. Think Jackie Robinson in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers and you get the idea (yes, England and Europe are that far behind in sporting terms as far as color barriers).
