Dear all,
I'm looking for a 'home' for an article (1,500 words approx) I've written about Albert Johanneson - 50 years on from 1965.
Highlights/perspectives include:
•50th anniversary on Saturday 30 May of Albert’s pioneering appearance as the first black player to play in an FA Cup final.
•Albert's arrival from South Africa to Leeds, Yorkshire in 1961.
•His historic appearance for Leeds United v Liverpool in May 1965.
•Albert’s achievements and legacy as a player for Leeds United.
•Interview with Paul Eubanks, British born of Jamaican parents, who watched Albert play for Leeds in 1960s.
•Albert as an inspiration to the Caribbean and African communities in Leeds/Yorkshire and beyond.
•The campaign by Paul Eubanks to keep Albert’s legacy alive.
•2015 FA Cup final is on Saturday 30 May - Arsenal v Aston Villa.
•50 years on from 1965, Aston Villa's captain is Fabian Delph, another black footballer with (previous) Leeds United connections. Delph could play a significant role in Saturday’s final.
Do you know someone who might be interested in taking a look at it? If so, I can send the article and pics on request.
Many thanks,
Colin
