Hi - does anyone know if Burton had any black players prior to Lindy Delapenha please? If not, I assume Lindy was Burton's first black player. And what a star he was! Any idea who was the first black player for Burton in the Football League? Cheers.

Aaron Webster springs to mind, sure there are more but he was with us from non league days. As for pre Lindy I have no idea.

Lindy was the Albion's first black player, signed by Peter Taylor. A close second would have been Tony Parry, a local lad who became a legend at Hartlepool. Aaron Webster & Greg Pearson were the first black players in the football league. They may have been joined in that first season by Steve Kabba & Cleveland Taylor

Thanks - had totally forgotten about Tony Parry - happy memories. I think he ended up as a dustbin man in Derby? As you say, a total legend at Hartlepool.
