Description
The Three Degrees: The Men Who Changed British Football Forever by Paul Rees In 1978/79, West Bromwich Albion became the first British football team to field three black players. This groundbreaking moment marked a turning point in the country's history, against the backdrop of intense racial tension. Cyrille Regis, Laurie Cunningham and Brendon Batson broke down barriers on and off the pitch. Their story is one of sport, but also of social change. As the National Front movement reached its peak, these players faced hostility and racism. Yet they persevered, paving the way for future generations of footballers from diverse backgrounds. This book tells the remarkable tale of a defining chapter in British football's history, and the impact it had on the country as a whole.
