The contribution of Barbados to English football falls under the spotlight in the third episode of our series marking Black History Month. Steven Scragg and Dave Bowler are again joined by Bill Hern and David Gleave, authors of Football’s Black Pioneers, along with special guest Roland Butcher. Roland might be better known as England’s first black cricketer but he was also Stevenage’s first black footballer and enjoyed a lengthy coaching career in the game, working at clubs such as Arsenal and Reading.
