Agree particularly with the point about Sol Campbell.Good read. The stereotypes were certainly pervasive in the 70s and 80s, the likes of Cunningham, Regis, Hill and Stein winning far fewer caps than similar white players and it is sad that these are perpetuated into coaching today.....Sol Campbell has struggled for opportunities despite a glittering career and Paul Ince seems to be discarded when the likes of Pardew, Monk etc... always seemed to get further opportunities.
Its an appaulling shame - hardly ever gets so much as a "no thanks" despite all his formidable experience in the Premier League and as a senior England player. He deserves a propper chance - not just stringing along wiith sinking clubs like Macclesfield.
