Roy Francis Article : Wed Oct 28, 2020 12:03 pm  

Excellent piece on the BBC website about Roy Francis and his pioneering ways in British sport. It also highlights some shocking aspects of racism that were sadly commonplace back then. Paints the city of Hull in a good light as being very accepting at the times when racial tensions were brewing up elsewhere. Also some great old photos A shame his story has not reached more people, perhaps this article will help. well worth a read Article Here
