As it is Black History Month and our Jack Leslie has received good exposure of late, it made me think of the first black player I could remember seeing play against Argyle and, along with that as a discussion point, who was the best black player seen play against Argyle and perhaps for Argyle ?
I saw Albert Johanneson play for Leeds in 1963, I think he was the first one I can remember (we lost 1-0).
As for the best, it´s a toss up between Laurie Cunningham (Orient) and Ruud Gullitt (Chelsea friendly).
For Argyle I would say Curtis Nelson.
