My Take
Cyrille Regis means far more to me than his impressive numbers, 158 league goals across nineteen years. Born in French Guiana and rising through English football in the racially hostile 1970s and 80s, he was a genuine pioneer who endured abuse so others could follow. His five England caps and MBE only hint at the doors he opened. When I picture his commanding 183 cm frame leading the line at West Brom and Coventry, I see courage as much as talent. His death in 2018 was a loss, but every diverse squad today owes him a debt. A true trailblazer.
