Cyrille Regis – My Story – The Autobiography of the First Black Icon of British Football

The autobiography of the late Cyrille Regis MBE, the former England international striker who was Britain's first black football superstar. Regis is chiefly remembered for his time playing for the midlands clubs, West Bromwich Albion, Coventry City, Aston Villa and Wolves, but he also played for Wycombe Wanderers and Chester City before retiring. 

Cyrille Regis, MBE, was born in French Guiana in 1958 and moved to England aged five. He was a part-time footballer for Hayes in the Isthmian League and training to be an electrician when, in 1977, West Bromwich Albion paid a GBP 5,000 transfer fee for his services. Cyrille's career took off and he won international honours, playing at a time when crowd violence and racial hatred were at their worst, but he helped to change attitudes, something that continued after retiring as a player.
