There were black players in the 60s who had the full support of their fans, more so in the 70's. racism is trivialised when it is applied where none exists.To my knowledge, there weren’t any black, non-English speaking players in the league in 1962. The question isn’t whether players are booed — we know that to be true — the question is whether black, foreign players are disproportionately booed. I’m afraid data from 1962 isn’t helpful in that determination.
I’ve absolutely no doubt that Soldado’s poor finishing cost us more dearly than Royal’s inability to cross. He came with even greater expectations and was never treated as poorly.
I've been at games where Soldato and Jansen got dog's abuse from Spurs fans. A minority take against a player because of his form, not colour. Spurs have always been fiercely anti racist, we ran the National Front out of Tottenham when they tried to recruit at our games and protected our own.
Unconscious bias is a lazy argument.
