As Tom points out in his comment on yesterday’s post TSF’s racism article does quite strongly imply that he himself is white. The quote is below.
“Growing up on a multicultural council estate, we were blessed with a healthy dose of colour blindness. Indeed, the first time any of us were confronted by racism came as a big shock because, very often, it would be directed at the friend you had grown up with.”
For this reason I’m going to add TSF being white to the checklist.
This will, of course, rule out Jason Euell.

I could be that he’s black, but that the boy from Pakistan was a victim of racism.
Ask not who is the secret footballer rather ask who would the Guardian
ask to become the secret footballer? Clark Carlisle ticks all of these boxes.
Noway is not the guy
I remember an article on rascism in the guardian some time back that indicated he was either mixed race or black
He talks about being embraced by a group of black players at his first club so he isnt black
I’m not sure that says he’s white – It’s saying his friend was the subject of racism…which could means his friend could have been indian/white/chinese/mixed race…
