I know you know that but plenty seem to misconstrue.

I respect your view but fundamentally disagree because it's possible to acknowledge the great work he did for the cause of black players whilst also acknowledging racist comments made. On balance, for me, his actions as WBA manager improved the footballing lives of many, broke the barriers for many of the current generation of footballers whilst his comments have tarnished his individual legacy.

He helped many, damaged himself.
