Seen a best black England 11 on socials today and thought about Town's. I for the life of me can only remember Nathan Abbey being our only black keeper, am I wrong? As a best of 11 this doesn't reflect a tactical 11 in anyway!
1. Nathan Abbey 2. Fabian Wilnis 3. Titus Bramble 4. Janoi Donacien 5. Gus Uhlenbeek 6. Kieron Dyer 7. Jermain Wright 8. Jason Dozzell 9. John Walters 10. Darren Bent 11. Chris Kiwomya
Also to be considered Romeo Zondervan, Danny Haynes, Jamie Peters, Dalian Atkinson and David Johnson.
Have I forgotten anyone?

Genuinely never would have guessed that! Cheers, you learn something new everyday.
Many moons ago I actually posted on here in a jokey way as to what colour he was, because to me he always looked pale orange. I didn’t realise he had any heritage as such, I was just confused. Needless to say I got hammered.
As for the OP. If anyone gets offended by that then they are a silly bollox.
Point of order thought - you have to include our first ever black player just for the hell of it and why not make him captain.

Jeez, What if I said let's do a all white 11 ,
It's less interesting, as it is much bigger pool of people, mainly from the Robson era. But go on, do it. See if it is as shocking and controversial as you think it is. Here's my best ever Caucasian Ipswich Town 11:
R Wright Burley Mills Beattie Butcher Walk Thijssen Muhren Gates Crawford Mariner
Oh no, controversy.
I only saw Wright play, the rest is on reputation. Sorry to Elsworthy, Phillips, Brazil and anyone else worthy to be in the same breath.

Do one then? Literally harms nobody if you do.
You’re right it harms no one. However I imagine if the original OP was suggesting we pick a white 11 the response would have been a whole lot different.

Does there have to be a point? At face value, they saw it on social media. Thinking about it innocently/positively, we have black history month, so why can't we be proud of our best black players?
I am a bit disappointed that the usual board bully boys have used this as a reason to jump on me again rather than the subject at hand, we have always had a good record on race and pride in our black players (and community) in Ipswich and to use the subject as a means to have cheap digs at me, accuse me of supporting Norwich and the usual bitterness is not really right.
If they didn't like it they could have ignored it and allowed for those people who wanted to contribute and engage positively to do so without turning the thread into a slag fest aimed at me. I get it, you don't like me, you jump on every minor mistake I make, it's relentless, and it's not fair frankly, but I am not that way inclined to keep biting back, It's a football forum, it's meant to be about opinion, debate but keeping it civil. From certain posters I just get dogs abuse, because I posted it, and not because of the subject which is just sad to me.
Yes, I put two number 4s, I am dyslexic. I can makes mistakes, it is allowed, I am human.
Yes, John Walters is black.
No, I do not support Norwich, which is painfully evident to anyone with a brain. Disagree with me, fine, but stop making lies up.

Don't let them get to ya, you eventually learn to laugh along with them. The funny ones are those who use the same names on other social media outlets, and they respond to your post differently on them to how they respond on here to the same exact post you make, almost like they need to play up to the board police of twtd to be accepted, it's all rather odd. I even once posted one that a poster made himself elsewhere.. exact same wording.. they responded against it, despite being the one who created it themselves first. lol.

I expect nothing from you, except to die and be a very cheap funeral.

It's not the "usual" people. It is a range of people that hold opinions on both the left and right of politics.
I'm dyslexic too. Aged 15 I was bottom set of English with 3 teachers in a class of 20 (and this was a state school!). Forgive me for no feeling sorry for you. You'll enjoy life more if you learn to laugh at your own mistakes. It's guaranteed that you will continue to make them.
Where did I say anything about Norwich in any of my replies? Also, you made your own bed on that one.
