Fantastic interview. Anyone who reckons that racism is 'just a bit of banter' or 'only words' should be made to watch that. Seeing a big bloke like Deano so emotional not just over the loss of one of his role models, but over the amount of abuse that black players used to get, is truly humbling.

Remember one of the first coloured players I saw was Clyde Best of the Wet Shammers. Think he was a full back. Regis was one of those players that every team would have loved to had. Can't even guess what he'd be worth today, same with Rod Fern.

Think Charlie Williams at Donny was one of the first coloured players around here
