Footballing heroes

(Photograph) - Footballing heroes: Colin Yates, a senior technician in visual arts at the University of Coventry, with a portrait from his series on the lives of black footballers. 'Many of us think of black footballers as first coming into the British game in the 1970s, but there is a long and distinguished history of black players in Britain.' He will take his exhibition, called 'Black Pearls', to the European Parliament in Brussels. Photo: Mike Sewell
