Best ever Black Ipswich Town 11 15:01 - Oct 17 with 9122 views | ChampionsofInnsbruck | 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? [Post edited 18 Oct 2023 15:09]

Best ever Black Ipswich Town 11 on 15:25 - Oct 17 with 5481 views | Kropotkin123 | Lol, what is going on? Two numbers 4s? Gus played on the right. Dozzell in midfield? Or is this what you meant by not tactical? I'm confused. If it is not tactical as in players don't play in that position, then why include Abbey? Nathan Abbey didn't play a game (Did he ever get a bench or cup appearance?) Is Walters mixed race? I thought he was Caucasian. I need to think a bit before contributing a team. EDIT GK ? Shame we missed out on Shaka Hislop RB Wilnis LB Mings CB Bramble CB Thetis (we loved the guy in our household. Cult status) CM J Wright CM Dyer RM C Edwards LM Hutchinson S D Bent S Atkinson M Bent was under consideration for my team too (way better than Haynes or Peters, for example).

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? |  |

The inclusion of Walters hinted to me that the post was a wind up. |  | |  |

I'm sure we all have enough strife on our minds as it is, so I'll just say TWTD doesn't have to slavishly follow feckbook or X; and leave it at that. |  |

Yes, he is. Seem to remember him talking about his background some years ago. |  | |  |

Because now Janoi Donacien has got the raging hump he was missed out. The fallout could destabilise the squad. |  | |  |

....albeit at left back. Personally I'm struggling to pick a forward line. Surely DJ has to be in there, but I loved Kiwomya and you can't really leave out Benty. It's a tough one. |  |

Don't know why we have to keep grouping people by race, gender, political persuasion etc. WBA once had a testimonial match between black players and white players which seems terribly anachronistic now, don't really see the difference between that and this post. |  |

We play as a *team*, players picked for the 11 on their ability; not on skin colour. Completely different thing to celebrating great individual black players for Black History month |  |

....it's designed to celebrate the contributions made by the black community to our society. I'd suggest that it is a valid cause and worthy of celebration. This post should be treated just as an extension of that, in the same way that black music is celebrated and admired. Open your mind. |  |

I do adore Public Enemy. I'm not convinced this is along quite the same lines! |  |
