Race, football and Black Britain 1909 -- The pupil's perspective |
| Summary |
Walter Tull, black WW1 officer and First Division footballer, is engaging subject matter for Dan Lyndon's Year 9s to explore racism in both 1909 and the present. In a game between Spurs and Bristol City, Walter Tull was subjected to racial abuse from the crowds and was withdrawn from the game. This lesson looks at continuity and change, exploring with the Year 9 class the first recorded incident of racism in football - a sport still too often spoiled by racism. The lesson kicks off with a clip from the 2004 Spanish/England friendly where black British players were abused with monkey chants from the crowds. Walter Tull was abused in language lower than Billingsgate. The class's task is to write a match report on the events of the game, using historical facts. Dan Lyndon explores his belief that multi-cultural history should be central to the history curriculum |

Fahed and Javaad are friends and partners in their Year 9 history class with Dan Lyndon. We follow their learning journey as they study the black footballer and WWI officer, Walter Tull. Over six weeks we catch up with Fahed and Javaad as they learn about the significance of Walter Tull's life. Walter Tull, the grandson of a slave, was an orphan. He was adopted by a mixed race family, signed to Clapton Town Football and became a successful pro footballer. Later in life he joined up with the Footballers Battalion and was killed in the second battle of the Somme. He was a pioneer his whole life, becoming a professional footballer and breaking the army's colour bar, but what relevance does his story have to two lads from a London comprehensive? Interviews with the two boys will reveal why they like history and what they think the point of learning history is. The films will also show which parts of Dan Lyndon's lessons work for Javaad and Fahed and which techniques turn them off |
