HONOURING PIONEERS

The club is honoured to welcome former Newcastle United players as special guests to this fixture. Their visit forms part of a Show Racism the Red Card initiative recognising the first 11 players of black heritage to represent clubs at senior level in English football.

Show Racism the Red Card was established in the North East 30 years ago, thanks in part to a donation by then Newcastle United goalkeeper Shaka Hislop.

Shaka is one of the club’s first 11 trailblazers who helped break barriers for those who followed:

  • Howard Gayle
  • Tony Cunningham
  • Mirandinha
  • Franz Carr
  • Justin Fashanu
  • Andrew Cole
  • Ruel Fox
  • Les Ferdinand
  • Shaka Hislop
  • Tino Asprilla
  • John Barnes

Wor Flags will pay tribute to their legacy with a display in the Gallowgate End prior to kick-off.
