Liverpool FC's First Black Player Howard Gayle Honored With Commemorative Mural

Howard Gayle, Liverpool's first black player, is celebrated with a mural in Liverpool. Born in Toxteth, he signed with the club in 1977 and made history, notably in a 1981 European Cup semi-final. Facing racism, Gayle became an activist. The mural by Mandela8 and artist John Culshaw highlights his impact on and off the field.
