Garth Crooks is a former football player turned pundit who has made a significant impact on the sport. He was the third black player to score in an FA Cup final in 1981 and later became the first black chairman of the PFA. Through his experiences with racism and discrimination, Garth has become an influential figure in promoting diversity and inclusion in football. 

As a pundit on BBC's Match of the Day and Football Focus, Garth provides informed analysis and original observations. He is highly respected for his honest reviews of matches and his deep love for the game. In recognition of his contributions to football punditry, he was appointed an OBE in 1999. 

Garth has been actively involved in various commissions, working to combat discrimination and support the progress of athletics. In his playing career, he represented clubs such as Stoke City, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, West Bromwich Albion, and Charlton Athletic, making a total of 375 appearances.
