As well as detailing the glorious moments in his career, it studies the impact that he and his black teammates had on the sociological outlook of football fans. It concludes with a review of Cyrille Regis' life after he retired as a footballer, and his work in the community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deutsch, Andre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47018079912176,"sku":"9780233003269","price":13.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780233003269_p0.jpg?v=1763680149","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780233003269","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
