In 1980, at the age of 19, Alex Williams became the first black goalkeeper in the top flight of English football when he pulled on the No 1 shirt for Manchester City.

Alex spoke to ITV Granada's Jahmal Williams-Thomas about racism he faced from the stands and about his work for Manchester City's community programme, inspiring young people through sport.
