We've unveiled a national blue plaque for footballer John ‘Jack’ Leslie in Plymouth. 🔵 This year marks 100 years since Leslie became the first Black footballer to be called up for England in October 1925, only for the offer to be rescinded shortly afterwards.

Something special about seeing my book in a Brentford bookshop 😀 In the window and in Hewson Books.

It's been a pleasure to work with @nationalrailenq and @TheRealKirstyG on the new Sporting Routes project of audio episodes on railways, sport, and a bit of history

The idea that Britain is a ‘powder keg’ because of its diversity is in itself stunningly racist. Millions of us live in diverse families bound by ties of love & respect that are as combustible as granite.

Two small but significant items in @FootballMuseum collections: pin-badges from some of the anti-fascist fan groups that were formed in the late 1970s and 1980s in response to the activities of the National Front.

I’m a doctor originally from Afghanistan who is now proudly serving people of all backgrounds in NHS. Despite the fear of violence against my faith & background, I won't be intimated. UK is my home & I will continue to help anyone who needs it. We shouldn't give in to racism.

Good luck to DMU alumna Emma Twigg @twigge, who's defending her Olympic rowing gold medal for New Zealand on Saturday in an amazing fifth appearance at the games 🚣‍♀️ Read Emma's story at https://t.co/b4U6ozi1my
