Eddie Parris was the first black footballer to play for Wales. He had a playing career which began in 1927 and played mainly for the likes of Bradford Park Avenue and AFC Bournemouth. At 20-years-old he became a pioneer, earning his only Wales cap in 1931. Presenter Darren Chetty provides questions to spark conversations in clubs, organisations, and schools across the country.
