THERE ARE SO
many people without whom I’d never have been able to write this book and I apologise profoundly to those I’ve neglected to mention. To all the players who agreed to be interviewed, I cannot thank you enough for your time, insight and perspectives. A special thanks goes to Iffy Onuora, Bobby Barnes and Paul Davis at the PFA for helping me get such great contacts; Ged Grebby at Show Racism the Red Card for his encouragement and support; Andrew Sherlock for his constructive criticism; to the massive Onuora clan, especially Obi, Uzo, Chiz, Chika, Chiz Jnr, Anyika and Nkechi for their encouragement and expertise and to Auntie Rose and Auntie Chinwe. Thanks to Linda Atherton for the great title and Pete Atherton for all his support; Billy Dutton, Liza Durkin, Pauline Donald, Wendy Gutin, Cheryl Varley, Jakub Goscinny for support and inspiration; and Rod Alexander and Jimmy Jagne for being a sounding board and fountain of knowledge and ideas. Last and by no means least, to my agent Darryl Samaraweera for his belief and to Olivia Beattie, my editor, for her invaluable input and everyone else at Biteback Publishing for their support.
