shackbleep 0 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 you're right there stevie, everton did struggle to silence the racism in the terraces for a lot longer than other clubs. my dad is an everton fan, having grown up in the area, and i used to watch them a couple of times a year as a boy when visiting family in liverpool with my dad and granddad. i remember watching the mersyside derby at goodison years back and everton fans chanting "everton are white" and making monkey noises at john barnes. racism in the crowds at the time wasn't frowned upon to the extent that it is today but it was still pretty shocking for me - you didn't get it to that extent at the time at st james. I remember when Liverpool played them about 87/88, live game on BBC. The Kop sang Liverpool Liverpool Liverpool, and then Johnny Barnes Johnny Barnes Johnny Barnes, to the same tune. Then quick as a flash from the Anfield Road End where the blue dippers were situated "Niggerpool Niggerpool Niggerpool" I'll always remember that. They've always been a wrongun horrible little club supported largely by uneducated racist scrotes. Seem to remember them hoying a bagload of bananas at him too.

ujpest doza 0 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Earl Barrett did come from Oldham 19 years ago. At the time, as Britain's most racist club, the fans were up in arms at signing a black player. It says everything about the club that Earl Barrett in 1991 (NINETEEN NINETY ONE), was the first black player in the history of Everton Football Club. Simply not true. What's not true? Halfcaste's don't count. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2000/jan/07/race.world And Cliff Marshall was no 'halfcaste'. Also, well done on linking to an article where we come out as the fifth most racist club. He hardly counts, 7 games in the 70's. Their first proper signed black player was Earl Barrett, that's a fact and that's the nature of the club. Cliff Marshall I bet he was on the tip of your tongue..... So the 'halfcaste' who scored two goals for them in an FA Cup final doesn't count either? And I didn't claim to know any of this myself, I just knew that you were wrong. Whether they played 7 or 700 games, they had still signed black players before Earl Barrett. And I'm also not saying that they didn't have a big problem with racism. I thought Dixie Dean was half caste or mixed race or whatever the politically correct term is these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was and that's why Albert Johannsen was the first black footballer in the 60s, because he was black. Dixie Dean wasn't a fully paid up black man.

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I think the Everton racism is a bit of a myth. From what I recall Barnes was looking fatigued from a long run of games so the Kop end threw some bananas to him for energy. It's probably cheating but you can see where they were coming from.

Over 40 being a racist I'd be about 12. My only issue with people of other races is muslim fundamentalists, and illegal immigrants (although that's not their fault our system is so shit). If you did a racism analysis of every poster on here, I wouldn't be in the top 50%, me gaffa is Asian, me fav current player by a mile is a full blown muslim and one of me favourite all time toon players was black. J69 has a lot to answer for, I bet he buys his lass a black veil for christmas to show his welcoming multi-cultural ethic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
