Short of an idea for a charity football match? How about playing a black team against a white team? And this is colour of skin I’m talking about, not colour of kits.

Believe it or not, such a match actually took place, in front of a paying crowd, at West Bromwich Albion in 1979. Telling people this has elicited two reactions: first disbelief, and then outrage. How could such a thing have happened? What kind of world were we living in at the time? Well, I’ve been reminded in making this film what a brutal place the world was, especially if you happened to be a black footballer.

t’s so often a tale of two halves - but this is a tale of two sports, two black pioneers and two very different outcomes. Plymouth in the early 1900s had the first black players to be picked for England in football and rugby union. Only one made it on to the pitch, only one is properly remembered - until now. This is one of a series of films Newsbeat has made to mark Black History Month.

On this episode we went to the UK Black Business Show in London, one of Europe's largest black business events. We spoke to some of the successful black entrepreneurs at the event so that we could find out: What the biggest business opportunity is today, how they got rich and how they would make their first million?
