    Just found an article saying that the first non white at the club appeared in 1992. Strange really because a lot of blacks and asians settled there in the 50s apparently. It was in the Guardian so could be bias.<ok>

    Was being sarcastic about Mr dirty's comment earlier, and I wouldn't have been in the trenches my low i.q would have meant I was definitely officer material <whistle>

    Don't know Dirty. The football players that Jack picked hadn't played for their country of birth, where as the cricket players had. Unless it didn't count because Ireland were amateur at the time I think.
