To celebrate Black History Month, we chose to highlight a soccer icon with a personal connection to the Rowdies organization.
We sat down with Ricky Hill, former English footballer and former head coach of the Rowdies, about his impact as a black soccer player in the United Kingdom, and how he strives to be an advocate for black players and coaches.
Hill also discusses how he came to the sport, his influences on and off the field, and his thoughts on how the sport has progressed in terms of equality and diversity, but how there is still room for improvement.
