Racism In Football

Welcome to It Was What It Was, the football history podcast. This week, co-hosts Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper are joined by an extraudinary guest - Clyde Best. An absolute pioneer to the game, born in Bermuda, Clyde would become one of the first black players in First Division football in England. His new film, ‘Transforming the Beautiful Game: The Clyde Best Story’ will be shown for a week at Sadler’s Wells East from 25th March. In this episode, Clyde recounts arriving in England as a teenager, getting lost at West Ham station and being taken in by the Charles family. He reflects on his rise at West Ham, getting his debut against Arsenal under Ron Greenwood in 1969 and playing alongside the likes of Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters. Clyde talks of the his Bermuda upbringing, national team breakthrough and the influence that his father had on him. Best reflects on being one of the first prominent black players in English football, enduring racist abuse and an acid-attack threat and playing against Pelé. He also discusses NASL moves to Tampa Bay and Portland Timbers and the inspiration he provided players such as Ian Wright. 01:29 Lost at Heathrow 03:23 The Charles Family 06:59 Bermuda Beginnings 10:20 West Ham Dream 13:20 Ron Greenwood Impact 15:22 Fast Track Debut 18:35 Breaking Barriers 24:06 Facing Racism 31:03 Scoring Against Pelé 35:20 Leaving West Ham for the NASL 37:17 American Soccer Showmanship 43:01 Legacy as a Pioneer 46:57 Honorary Doctorate 49:44 His love for West Ham Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of The Cooligans, Alexis Guerreros and Christian Polanco are joined by MLS analyst Gio Savarese to break down his bold predictions for the 2026 MLS season and the USMNT’s outlook heading into the 2026 World Cup. The boys also discuss the racist incident involving Vinícius Júnior during Real Madrid’s match against Benfica and debate whether current protocols put too much responsibility on the victim. Plus, a wild Champions League recap featuring standout performances and shocking results across Europe.

Arsenal made unwanted history this weekend, becoming the first side in Premier League history to surrender a two-goal lead against a team starting the day in the relegation zone. Wolves fought back from 2–0 down to claim a crucial point, a result that has thrown the title race wide open. With Manchester City now just five points behind, with a game in hand, the question has to be asked: do Arsenal have the experience and resilience required to go all the way? Elsewhere in Europe, there were deeply troubling scenes during Benfica’s match involving Vinícius Júnior and Gianluca Prestianni. After scoring a superb goal, Vinícius Júnior was subjected to alleged racial abuse. The incident has once again raised urgent questions about racism in football and why meaningful progress remains so slow. Gary, Alan and Micah reflect on why this continues to happen in the modern game and also discuss the reaction after the match, including disappointing comments from José Mourinho that have sparked further debate.

As league seasons come to a close across Europe, Dotun, Andy and David have some huge stories to unpack. After Valencia double down in their self-defence over the racist abuse aimed at Vinícius Junior, we discuss attitudes to racism in Spain and the shameful response from La Liga. We also react to ANOTHER Juventus points deduction which - surprisingly - has José Mourinho in a huff. Plus, it looks like Bayern are about to let the Bundesliga slip out of their hands for the first time since 2012. Why has it gone so disastrously wrong for Tommy Tuchel? Got a question for us?

On this People's Poll Podcast Suj & James challenge the difficult conversation around the Y Word, a word reclaimed by Tottenham fans in the 1970s to fight back against anti semitic and racist opposition fans. But is it right that Tottenham fans still use the word? James tries to give a balanced side of the argument from both sides as a Tottenham fan who had used the word for many years but made a decision some time ago not to use it any more and recounts experiences at games and why removing the word from the conversation has to be something led by Tottenham fans themselves.

Manchester United and France midfielder, Paul Pogba, caught up with Robbie Earle recently to discuss Manchester United's 2020-21 season, his current state of mind with the club, his relationship with Bruno Fernandes, his views on racism in football and what to expect from France in Euro 2020 this summer.

The Athletic's Adam Crafton speaks to Valencia president Anil Murthy to get his view on the incident which took place during the game between Valencia and Cadiz on Sunday when Valencia defender Mouctar Diakhaby accused Cadiz's Juan Cala of racially abusing him, which lead to the Valencia players leaving the pitch for 20 minutes. The following days have seen Cala issue a strong denial that he used the language he was accused of using, and in turn Valencia have continued to come out strongly in support of Diakhaby. In this interview Anil Murthy explains his thoughts on how the incident was dealt with at the time, how he thinks La Liga and Spanish football should deal with any future incidents of this nature, and he expresses his disappointment with the lack of progress being made on racism in football.
