Yes, first black manager in the top division and to this day, still the only black manager to win a major trophy.
I have read that Ken Bates was actually a supporter of Enoch Powell, so credit to him for being prepared to put his personal politics aside and hire someone he thought was the best man for the job. However, he loses points for sacking Gulllit over a stupid contract dispute at a time when we were second in the league.☹️
