Watched the docu on Paul Cannoville the other night, and it got me thinking, who was the next black player at the cobblers after Walter Tull, and how was he treated? Was the terrible treatment of Cannoville and his piers replicated further down the leagues, or was it confined to the higher divisions? I'd hazard a guess that Derrick Christie was the next 1 on the books of NTFC, but this was way before my time. Terry Fleming is the 1st i remember, and the youth team keeper Delroy Preedie. Just curious like, and if you havent seen the Cannoville programme, its well worth a watch.

Frankie got no abuse, or not that I heard from the back of The Hotel End. I got more - "get that ginger tw@t off" , or if someone missed the goal by 20 yards "you've been watching Aidy Mann"Wakeley Gage black? what's Drilling drinking?

After a quick look at some old team photos, before Frankie Belfon we had Derrick Christie. Played between 1973-1978

Derrick Christie and Paul Stratford (mixed race) are the first two who spring to mind for me.
