Posted on 25 March 2017.
In an exclusive book extract, the former Fulham, QPR and West Ham forward recalls the racism he faced in the 1980s, including being spat at by a schoolboy I remember going to play at Leeds for Fulham in 1984.

Football transfer rumours: Manchester City to move for Kingsley Coman?
Posted on 24 March 2017.
Today’s tittle-tattle is in your town tonight A photo of a beaming Riyad Mahrez holding one thumb aloft features on the front page of Spanish daily Sport. The Leicester playmaker has apparently made it his “objective” to secure a move to Barcelona , but tellingly there seems to be no great indication that the Spanish side are hugely interested in bringing him to Camp Nou. Worryingly for Arsenal fans, Hector Bellerín also gets a mention, with the full-back …

The loss was especially painful …
