A black Liverpool FC fan said he was spat at and subjected to vile racist chants in the Kop's Boys' Pen during his first trip to Anfield.
LFC fan Tony Excell spoke with former player John Barnes to reflect on the terrible experience he had during his first visit to Anfield in the 1970s. Mr Excell, from Toxteth, told Barnes how he was the only black person at the match after being invited by a white friend.
Mr Excell, who works with the Anthony Walker Foundation, spoke to Barnes as part of Liverpool FC's ongoing coverage of Black History Month. In a video on LFC's website, the pair spoke candidly about how Mr Excell's first visit to Anfield was marred after he was subjected to racially abusive chanting from the crowd.
