Bad injury for Toto

Quoted from promotion plaice

The way he left Town......I really don't give a toss.

The way we treated him at Halifax I'm glad his team are where they are

Quoted from Grantley

The racism isn’t true because I never heard anyone say it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was at the Halifax game and heard racial slurs that were aimed at him and Straker. Specifically, repeated use of the c word. Bollox to those people who say that Toto made it up. It was disgusting.

Just pointing out, this was satire. I think it’s entirely plausible that our fans made racist comments at Halifax, as I’ve heard them discussing other black players in their own conversations. Some people are scared to admit the issue.

Quoted from Tommy

Contract ran out.
Decided to move on after a section of our support were constantly on his back.
Not to mention the lack of investigation into his allegation of racist abuse.[/b][b]


I don't hold anything against him and never did when he left. Wish him well.

I was at Halifax that day and in my opinion, he played the race card to smoke screen how crap he was and how he responded to the fans

Quoted from KingstonMariner

I don't buy that at all. He had his faults and his critics for those faults. But never saw evidence of people being constantly on his back. That's not to excuse any racist abuse, if there was any.

With respect I don’t think you get to as many games as Tommy does and I would agree with Tommy’s assessment. Toto had a sizeable anti-fan club when at Town.

With regards racial abuse at Halifax - I didn’t hear any myself but I wouldn’t have been surprised if it had happened as there were a lot of low-life twits out for a day out that day. One of the most embarrassing away days I’ve been on all things considered.

At the end of the day it does not matter what you think of Toto,  he is an human being,

I do not like to see any player suffer a head injury whether he plays, played for us or not,

I too was at the ill-tempered Halifax game and it's clear something was said to Toto.

Hurst was fuming he also got the "we're fecking spolit we know who we are. " chant rammed down his throat in no uncertain terms that day.

In fact, I felt he held that grudge right until the Wembley match hence the ear cupping at the end.

Which is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read. If you talk to people who have been racially abused it’s often more hassle to report it, they are often subjected to ignorant victim blaming such as your post. In this thread you’ll read someone saying they actually heard him being racially abused.

It’s attitudes like this that allow racism to survive and he should’ve been supported much more than he was. Did an investigation ever actually happen?

And if you think people don't play the race card you must be deluded
