Description

Howard Gayle is best remembered by Liverpool fans as the Scouser who ran Bayern Munich’s defenders ragged in the second leg of the 1981 European Cup final. But Gayle, better known as first black footballer in Liverpool’s 89-year history, was born in Toxteth and spent many of his teenage years knocking around on Granby Street – a gritty melting pot of a community south of Liverpool’s city centre.
