Didn't an ex Hearts player recently make claims of racism during his time at Tynecastle?

Double whammy. Accused of racism and on the sex offenders register.

Pretty horrific reading but could be difficult to prove.

Sounds like his behaviour has been pretty shabby and just glad he was nowhere near our club.

A number of players that weren't on the receiving end, because they were white, have come forward to support the allegations.

Reminds me of the classic joke

Three men walk into a bar, A paedo, a racist and a Jambo. And that was just the first one

There used to be a lot of blokes like that in the 70/80s, often in positions of authority. Only now is the occasional individual being brought to book.
So many got away with it.

The same behaviour was probably rife across many clubs in those era's.
