PROPORTIONALITY EVENT – WEDNESDAY 17TH FEBRUARY 2016 TUC CONGRESS HOUSE – PAUL CANOVILLE BOOK SIGNING

PROPORTIONALITY EVENT – WEDNESDAY 17TH FEBRUARY 2016 TUC CONGRESS HOUSE – PAUL CANOVILLE BOOK SIGNING
You will be aware from the document we issued last week – that Paul Canoville is one of the guest speakers invited to the CWU Proportionality Event to be held at TUC Congress House on Wednesday 17th February 2016.
For those who may not know, Paul Canoville was a former professional footballer for Chelsea & Reading FC and was the first black player for Chelsea FC.
Paul, who suffered racial abuse from his own fans as well as opposing supporters after making his debut for the club in 1982, has written a book of his life called “Black & Blue”. Below is an excerpt from the book: 
“Paul Canoville’s story is one of extreme racist bigotry, shattering career-ending injury, a decline into drug abuse, battles against cancer, family tragedy and a determination to beat the odds. Canoville was Chelsea’s first black first-team player, making his debut in 1982”. 
Paul is available on the day to sign copies of his book, which can be purchased prior to the event at bookstores or online using the following link: Click Here   
Yours sincerely
