I can't remember it happening to Barnes but I wouldn't be surprised. Saw it happen a few times to players in the 80's including the monkey noises. SJP was no bastion of human rights back then and regularly had BNP and NF handing out leaflets outside of the ground.

Can't remember him playing up here for Watford but it did happen to others, usually banana not bananas for a short spell early 80s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, just have no recollection myself. Monkey noises are abysmal enough, like. Last time I remember seeing anything overtly horrific was away to Leeds in 2003 - there was a badge seller selling NF wank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Had a friend who moved up here from Leeds back in year nine (2003 ish). He still had friends down Leeds so would travel between here and there, never mentioned anything about racist beliefs around us but one day decided to post a picture of him and a few of his mates doing nazi salutes at Elland road. This was around 2010-2011. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly sure it was at Bobby Barnes early to mid 80s. There were plenty of the Monkey chants and other shit later on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I’m not denying that shit like that happened in the late 70’s into the 80’s, everywhere, disgustingly, but when you had the likes of Alf Garnett on tv and much more, it was hardly discouraged. I was just referring to that one point about John Barnes while he played for us. Lies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Apparently on Cole's first appearance at the landfill (as a sub) a voice was heard from the Gallowgate - "Jeezas, he's black!" Worth mentioning at this point that Cole started his first home game for us. Grumpy Lying Man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That did happen, during his Watford days. Also saw it happen to Bobby Barnes of West Ham. I also remember seeing NF skinheads trying to peddle their filth outside the Gallowgate End. St James wasn't a welcoming place at all to black players, during the 1980's, There's a game on You Tube (a 4-0 win v West Ham in 86), where George Parris was getting monkey noises his way every time he tough the ball.

Really needed to use Franz Carr for that story since we'd had him for over a year by then but that would get in the way of a more sensationalist one. Cole got booed coming on as sub at Swindon by Swindon fans because he was former Bristol City player and they're rivals - he's probably going off that and either deliberately twisting it or its been twisted as the story was passed around mackem dive to mackem dive. This is where the "Kelly scored an own-goal to keep yiz up" (even a very reasonable mackem I worked with was lead to believe this) myths are made.

christ Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Regardless of whether there’s even a sliver of truth or not in anything they’re saying, it’s genuinely hilarious they’re getting on their high horse about anti-black racism.
