First black player

Cadette is the first black player I can see in the team photos. He joined in July 1985.

He was born in Barbados and joined us from Grays in 2/85, played 5 games and went back to Grays in 7/85.

However Eddie Firmani was born in Cape Town so would he enter your reckoning as I believe he was Cape Coloured&#33;&#33;

I'm glad word of my campaign is spreading.

And I should hope not, stupid comments? Me?
 
Suggestions so far are years, no, decades, out.

We had a very fast coloured winger with the surname of Partridge (initial &quot;P&quot; Paul? Peter? can&#39;t remember - might have come from (or gone to) Portsmouth) on our books in the sixties. Not sure he broke into the first team though.

He wouldn&#39;t if he never reached the first team, I guess. Should we restrict this to first-team players only? If Welch/Firmani are Afrikaaners, are they excluded?

I like the idea of Cadette. Someone I can easily get hold of.
