b'Straight From The Off welcomes Howard Gayle to the Podcast. Howard goes down in history as Liverpool Football Clubs first black player, but there is much more to his story than that. From St Teresas in Norris Green to lifting the European Cup for his beloved Liverpool FC in Paris. Howie played for West Derby, East Villa and The Belmont playing in the amateur scene before getting a trial at LFC, which he initially turned down! He tells us about that famous night in Munich, also playing for Birmingham, Sunderland and Blackburn and and all about the lads he shared a pitch with and played against throughout those times. \\nEpisode 102 is brought to you by: The Mez Foundation \\nInstagram: mez_foundation_16'
