LOI legend Mark Rutherford on racism in football
Mark Rutherford, the English midfielder who became a League of Ireland legend courtesy of spells with Shels, Bohs, Shamrock Rovers, St. Patrick’s Athletic and Longford Town, is the subject of an excellent mini-doc by the 1895 Trust.
In it, he talks about the highs and lows of his football career – the latter including the various incidents of racial abuse he’s encountered both in Ireland and the UK where he plied his trade in the early ‘90s with Birmingham City and Shrewsbury Town.
What Sparky has to say is mandatory listening for everyone connected with the game.
