A goalie statue at St George's Park, "the home of English football". This work of sculptor Vivien Mallock commemorates Arthur Wharton the world's first black professional footballer from late 19th century. Meant to inspire everyone in the game for ethnic and racial unity, it has poignant overtones in the light of the latest racist episode with Chelsea fans in Paris :(
