First Asian player to play in the PL?

Lineker reckons he was the first asian black white man to play in the PL ?

If we are talking about the top league then Jimmy wasn’t. Apparently there was a Frank Soo who played for Stoke in the 30’s who was half Chinese. Even played for England but not in recognised matches so never got a cap.

I only know because his life story came up in my bbc news feed.

Not sure if you can call them legends but I always thought Terry Brisley and Christophe Kinet were very underrated

 

[Edward Alistair]

Bit disappointed that no one has mentioned Alistair Edwards.

 

[superlion]

Surprised no one mentioned Stevie Morriston
And my own personal legend is a manager Kenny jackett what he went thru on the eve of Wembley, and the way he spent time with all the fans in the car park after games. always had time for everybody win or lose a proper gentleman

 

[Ralph the mouth]

I agree with that, I have never heard him say a bad word about us and didn't mean to sound as though I thought he didn't care. It's just I feel that we are just one of many clubs in his career and he doesn't have the same feeling for the club as those I mentioned.

steady on mate,teddy was a life long Millwall fan,as well as a life long spurs,man u and west ham fan!!

We must never forget Harry Cripps, the epitome of.Millwall.

Yep H.Cripps tops the list, closely followed by Kitch, then you pays your money and takes your choice.

My top two (I mentioned them up thread earlier).
Cripps' goal up at Everton in the FA Cup win (0-2), still sits in my memory vividly.

And his two goals at Blackburn..both from scissor kicks (Harry..scissor kicks..almost unbelievable). We won 4-2. Can’t remember date but it must have been late 70’s,early 80’s.They weren,t happy,attacked our coach after the game.

I would never have thought of Moro as having played that many times for us... I suppose it's the 2 separate spells that create illusion.

If it was against Blackburn it must have been earlier, because Harry Boy left us in 1974 and joined The Spotters for a couple of years.

Amazingly, Harry's 1973 Cup goal up at Goodison Park is on YouTube.
It's also probably when our loving relationship with them started...

Wasn't at the time you mentioned Unit, Harry had left The Den in 1974. It was 7 Sept. 1968.

Yep, that looks like the game. We were 2-0 down before winning 2-4.
We could do with some more of that these days.
